Gotta agree about starting a new project. The only way I could see this type of growth happening is with lots of money, and even if that money could be obtained as an unrestricted donation it would still be seen as a takeover. $1000 here and there isn't going to cut it. Especially not when there's a chance that someone will put in all the effort but come in second place and get nothing. A contest with "$1,000 to the first person who demonstrates OSMs DB running on more than one machine" is nothing like a bug bounty, because there can only be one winner, and everyone else's time is wasted. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
