I didn't even know that GMM had introduced peer reviewed edits,
apparently they did so a while ago. 'Review some contributions and get
yours reviewed faster' is what it told me when I logged in.
And now they overhauled the UI to make it that much easier to contribute.

Especially with the OsmAnd update I got from the Android market a few
days ago. Offline vector rendering was functional before. Now it's
downright beautiful.

The Google maps app, via a labs add on, allows you to download offline
vector maps! Okay they are only 10sq mi each and you are limited to 10 of
them but its still possible.

Not a speech, but...
My experience says that an institution like the foundation should not
get involved in trying to give advice or otherwise comment on the
product of a competitor. The reader will either know who we are and
does not need to be informed about GMM, or the reader will think that

Currently Map Maker is only enabled for a few areas that (I guess) don't
have decent map data. Namely:
# Bahamas
# Barbados
# Bermuda
# British Virgin Islands
# Cayman Islands
# Cyprus
# Grenada
# Iceland
# Jamaica
# Netherlands Antilles
# Pakistan
# St. Kitts and Nevis
# St. Lucia
# St. Vincent

# Cyprus
# Grenada
# Iceland

No Germany ? Looks like peoplesmap 2.0 to me !
