Hi Matt,

And welcome.  There is a mailing list for historical mapping, the main OSM 
database is only for objects as they currently exist.  Lost of interesting 
discussion on the historical list, and many interesting challenges to make it 
all work correctly. :-)

I'm interested in aboriginal mapping and rendered maps in aboriginal languages 
as few years back.  It would be super to have more data from and by first 
nations.  There is a continuing multi lingual map project that might interest 
you. 

So welcome, happy mapping and thanks for introducing yourself!

Richard

[Talk-ca] Introduction: Matt Dance

2014-02-03 Thread Matthew Dance
Hi,
I'm Matt Dance, in Edmonton, and have been doodling a little bit on OSM in
Edmonton, but would not like to up my game.  I'm interested in alternative
cartographies, especially in contemporary and Aboriginal mapping as well as
historic maps.

Drop me a line if you share any of these interests, of if there are any
projects I should start contributing to.

Matt
