The scope is IMHO the worldmap drawn with the knowledge of locals, that's why I'd consider these informal neighbourhoods precious to our data, even more as they are not "official" boundaries so OSM could maybe become the main source for them. I'm actually against too much discussion about relevancy of things to be put into the db. It might be problematic to insert ephemeral stuff, especially if it does not get maintained, but besides this I'd personally like to see as much information as possible inserted. Things (e.g. those areas, alternative names, ...) that only the locals know of (but to them is commonly known), and that is not written in other publications or even on the ground I'd consider the most precious data to collect. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
