this being a FOSS mailing list, we are pretty paranoid (or least I am) about things like copyright, licenses, access to data and the like. Could you spell out your policy in these regards? Is it a good idea to tie yourselves to the big G? We do have a (slightly b0rked but repairable) totally free map in OSM and another (slightly b0rked but full of valuable data) in freemap. Not to discourage you, but if you want people to provide info, you must also guarantee that the said info is free for use for anyone (not just free as in beer). ps, I calculate that about 100 man hours of work is enough to rectify the OSM map of Mumbai - and am willing to contribute some of that if others are coming forward. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/ -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
