that is where we differ - I contribute, and in no small manner, by
ground survey and mapping.
It is not an open *data* project, but an open /source/ project
and there is a tension between those of the computer meritocracy and
those of the mapping meritocracy.
We cannot exist without each other. Very few fit into both camps, but
the camps cannot exist without each other.
Do not forget those who document, those who test websites and coding,
for again, they are all important parts of the whole.
