What a lot of effort! Why bother?
I don't understand why we can't just establish a few wiki pages and a new
mailing list for people interested in end-uses of data. Make a few clear
splits in wikis, lists, the front page etc. for people interested in
gathering and using data. There's definitely a need for more collaboration
and code-sharing on the OpenLayers/stylesheet front, it's all a bit of a
confusing mess at the moment.
I'd be happy to get stuck into both discussions, having mapped large chunks
of Reading, St Albans, Peckham and Sutton... and having set-up a map based
on OSM data (http://map.oneplanetsutton.org).
Kind regards,
Tom
