I'm pleased to say there has been interest from four councils. I've sent simple slippy map examples to the web site admins and they are beginning to appear. I've also got a request to help with a couple of local events that use maps - I thought I'd use Kosmos to print maps with local overlays such as the locations of garage sales. Maybe everyone should think about contacting their local councils ... A hint on where you are based would help us identify which councils have already been covered ;) I'm based in Swanland, East Yorkshire, UK.  If a council is contacted more than once they might be persuaded to look at OSM. :-) I'm going to spread the message to other villages in this area and I'm going to add a contact column to the list of villages in the East Yorkshire wiki page.  Cheers, Chris
