I've proposed in the past on IRC - though I should probably write it up on the wiki: If user is willing to participate at low levels only: Take GPS tracklogs whenever in motion. Optionally delete tracks within 100m (or whatever) of a point randomly selected 50m from a waypoint (to obscure the end-points). Upload to a central server. The server anonymises the tracklogs, and submits them at random to OSM over the next month. If they are willing to do more: As above, but add 'car/bus/train/...' modes to a screensaver-like UI. Further options would be for example, voice annotation of the GPS tracklog, or keyboard. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
