| This seems to me like the type of effort for which the only successful way to get started would be to start with a manageable, limited geographic region like a city or metro area. In a city, it would be reasonable to expect to achieve an acceptable level of coverage and responsibility over accuracy, with a relatively small team of dedicated people. With the people, the region, and clear, useful or beneficial application(s) of the data that's collected to drive them (no pun intended) to do it, it could be a recipe for success. And once there's something successful to point at, there could be a domino effect on regions seemingly less ripe for a community effort. As far as comfort levels with precision and accuracy go, I think they would likely only come with time and experience, similar to the trend wikipedia has seen and is still seeing. And trust may never get to the level where the data is used in any and all applications. | dan melinger | socialight | email [EMAIL PROTECTED] | web http://socialight.com | office +1 646 651 1201 | cell +1 917 494 5856 | skype melinger On Aug 18, 2006, at 1:04 PM, Jed Rice wrote:
