Actually, what might be really interesting is having a wikispaces type hosting environment where anyone could set up a separate OSM instance with a separate database, rails port, mapnik rendering with a custom stylesheet etc. This would be interesting to map historic data that's not appropriate for the main OSM database (for example, one OSM-space per battlefield), or to experiment with nonstandard tagging, or to create maps with non-OSM compatible licenses (although I would discourage the latter). -- Jeff Ollie _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
