I think "preferred" is the key. OSM's a broad church and, most of the time, there is no "preferred" way: we don't turn people away because they choose to use closed source software, closed formats or whatever. For example, we are, by open project standards, very welcoming towards those who use Windows. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
