There is a proposal for such a site dedicated to geographic information systems - and it would be a very nice place for Openstreetmap support. Some of us have already been talking about setting up an OSM specific QA site like this which would be a much better fit than trying to use something that is intended to be more general. Especially with things like Shapado (http://shapado.com and http://gitorious.org/shapado) allowing you to set up our own site Shapado on an OpenStreetMap-controlled host sounds good to me, and it seems to me that there is user demand for it. Let's do it ! Any links to previous discussions on that topic ? I think that improving user support beyond mailing-lists discussions is important for OSM's growth and I'm willing to help with that project. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

It's not like there's some massive to do list - it just needs me to decide which server to put it on and find some time. Maybe I'll do it at the hack weekend.
