One of the larger items the LWG has been working on this year is an attempt to provide more clarity on how our licence works with respect to geocoding. As some of you know this is a fairly controversial topic and a number of different approaches have been suggested and discussed in the past.
We have produced a draft document https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Draft_Geocoding_Guideline that is open for comments, either here on the mailing list or on the talk page of the document. We intend to let this consultation phase run to the end of this month. It is very likely that there a some formatting errors introduced by wikifying the documents, please simply point them out to me in e-mail. I would like to thank everybody on the LWG for support in getting this done, but particularly Michael Steffen for taking the lead on this and doing the heavy lifting in actually writing the drafts and FAQ.
