I don't really have a contact (they only called me by phone), but I've sent to their office address. This database was developed in mandate of the Austrian government (Preistransparenz-Gesetz des Ministerrates), but they obviously did many things wrong, they already had much bad press... it was completely under-dimensioned and obviously the programming was bad, either. What means of contact should I give to them? Right now I pointed them to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim_usage_policy Frederik, should I give them your Geofabrik-contact for selling them some clues? /al _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
