Hello everyone, Thanks for the responses on this. What I would like to do this year is really try to bring together everyone on the list who is interested in developing OSM software (both web and mobile) for walkers (hikers) so that we can make a good go of exchanging ideas and developing software. To this end, I propose to add the new version of Freemap (0.5) to the main OSM SVN repository when it's ready so that there's a place where people can hack on stuff they're interested in. I think that in certain areas now (southern England and various parts of Germany) there's enough data to make OSM really useful for walkers so I think the time is right for a push on this.
So I'd like to collect together a number of initial idea. I've started a template wiki page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_for_walkers and feel free to send me suggestions via the Freemap blog or email, see http://www.free-map.org.uk/wordpress/?p=103 It would be really good to try and get together a development community and exchange of ideas for a "walkers' OSM" so I'm wondering - would it be worthwhile creating a dedicated mailing list? osm-outdoors or osm-hikers or something similar? Thanks, Nick _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
