Uh-oh, I don't think it's worth arguing about what the "core" of OSM is. Lester's right - for micro-mapping, it's "not about 'catching on' but rather about 'making provision for'". Richard, I think it's possible to make provision for micro-mapping on the same data layer. There's just a few issues to work through. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
