Yes, very disappointing but not every human being on earth happens to have an OSM account. We're working on it. > Isn't that just putting an artificial middle man into the equation? The cool thing about this is that users can control what kind of middle man they want. > Wouldn't it be better to have an organised, original data? Not in my eyes. If users come to us and say: "Hey, we'd like to have only 6 road categories not 18" then, instead of removing information in our database to be compliant, we simply give them a set of rules for their artificial middle man that gives them 6 road categories, and we don't even have to change all our editors and re-educate all our mappers. Best of both worlds, innit? Bye Frederik _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
