cool. What is needed for the sprint: 1. laptop if you have one 2. gps tracks if you have a gps 3. willingness to sit and work The work will be simply to open the potlatch editor and align the streets along the Yahoo image. Use local knowledge to name (or rename) streets. And junctions, flyovers and also sketch in prominent buildings and landmarks. Participants need not wait for the sprint to get started. Go to http://openstreetmap.org, register, login, search for your area in Mumbai and start sketching. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/ -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
