It seems like there are many similar initiatives in Brazil. For some reason the words of OSM havn't been spread enough, and many similar-but-not-the-same projects have popped up.
Often when entering contact with such "competing" projects, they either havn't heard about OSM, or thought OSM as "just another initiative" when starting. Many of these projects have also only a small community, or focus only on a relatively small geographical area. The Brazilian community on OSM is not very large, and we might need some more help on how to spread the word in order to merge with some of these projects, many of them have compatible terms with OSM, so a complete merge of databases should be just a matter of getting the content in the right formats. -A[] On Sat, Mar 27, 2010 at 9:01 PM, Christian Rogel <christian.ro...@club-internet.fr> wrote: > Some information here : > > http://gislounge.com/mapping-via-cell-phone-in-brazil/ > > Christian > > > Stefan de Konink a e'crit : >> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >> Hash: SHA512 >> >> http://wikimapa.org.br/ >> >> Just on CNN, could someone tell something about it? >> >> >> Stefan > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > talk mailing list > talk@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk > _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
