I was reading the famous policy. If I understand well, I cannot name without authorization the project WhatOSM (meaning that I can still ask for authorization ?). But if I name it "What ? OSM !" it is OK, because it doesn't mix OSM with the name, and it uses OSM word mark correctly ?

They are

a) not copyrighted

b the TM policy will allow certain community use of the trademarks that previously was not clearly permitted and defines going forward what is acceptable and what not.

That said, for the reasons mentioned in the policy, you should avoid *OSM* names. Not to mention that on more general principles they are not a good idea.

You might want to reconsider the name as you started this project 2 weeks ago and XYZosm or osmXYZ or OpenXYZMap are "copyrighted" and goes against the new usage policy.

    Hi everyone,

    As you may know, OSM has a whole set of tools allowing various
    thematic editing and contribution. Every contributor can find
    something to do, however when you are new to this world, you
    don't where these tools are and which one is made for you.

    In order to make it easier discovering contribution tools, and
    find the ones according to what you want to work on, I made a
    little web guide named WhatOSM. When answering three questions
    (level of difficulty, available time and if you are
    indoors/outdoors), you have a list of corresponding tools. You
    can try it here :

    http://projets.pavie.info/whatosm/
    <http://projets.pavie.info/whatosm/>

    It can be used by new contributors, but also more experimented
    ones, who don't know what to do anymore in their neighbourhood.
    It might be interested to show this to people when doing mapping
    parties. User interface works as well on desktop as on smartphone.

    This project is open source and is available on this repository :

    https://framagit.org/PanierAvide/WhatOSM
    <https://framagit.org/PanierAvide/WhatOSM>

    You can contribute to it by proposing tools which allow
    contributing more or less directly to OpenStreetMap. Also, if you
    speak English + another language, you can help translating the
    application :

    https://www.transifex.com/openlevelup/whatosm/
    <https://www.transifex.com/openlevelup/whatosm/>

    If you have any ideas or suggestions, let me know :-)

    Regards,

    Adrien.
