Hello, I'm afraid my previous email has been lost into the void.
I will be the coach for Open Summer Of Code coming july. A small heritage organisation asked us to create 'some tool to make adding heritage data easier'. I was planning to create an iD-fork for OHM with presets that they would need - is that a good idea? The slider is pretty cool btw!
