You should go ahead with nearmap editing, even if it might become an anonymous map doodle tool. It's a good thing that we are getting more anonymous editting tools. It would be nice to beable to at least track in the same way as wikipedia does (publicly showing IP addresses). Amenity Editor, the web based anonymous editor, hasn't posed a problem for me yet, but the edits come in pretty low volume. http://ae.osmsurround.org/ http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/amenityeditor/edits /emj _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
