How about we call it 'geochat' or 'osmchat'? A chat thread is started at a particular place & time. Chat readers would look at a set of user- defined bboxes (defaulting to a single 1km x 1km box around one's home), and show the 10 chat threads with the latest activity, maybe ignoring stuff older than user-specified cut-off. Calling it 'chat' makes it more obvious that that the chat messages themselves shouldn't go in the main db. However it would be nice to be able to obtain a list of chat threads for an area easily, and if that means auto-inserting nodes tagged chat=<ChatID> into the main db that sounds ok to me. - L _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
