Hi,
That is right - I should have posted something about it to this list too,
but I forgot!
OSM is one of ~150 organisations that have been accepted onto the programme,
along with OSGeo and Mapnik.
Between now and 29th March, would be students will choose which of the
accepted organisations
Hi!
I have been in touch with Graham as well, and posted my idea on the GSoC
2010 ideas page. This is just to keep talk list posted.

Please fire your suggestions and comments.
Thanks!

Hello,
I don't want to break enthusiasm from anyone but the deadline was the 12th

contacted Google for an extension? I don't mind seeing great ideas discussed
here, on the contrary, but then, we have to keep in mind that they

For one of OSM GSoC'10 projects I would like to suggest unofficial
guide for mapping. We all know that there is a little haos in tagging
(some says it's good, some says it bad), but so far biggest confusion
comes from not how to tag things, but how to tag complex situations or
how to even map
That is a great idea.
What about making video as well, on how to use OSM/JOSM/Potlatch how to get
started. Video Screencasts?

to OSM, but Google are quite explicit that this is outside of the scope of

Description :
Integration of the java swoop ontology editor into JOSM. A JOSM ontology
plugin.
Work :
1. create a live mapping from OSM into RDF , so that the swoop can access
the data in OSM without conversion.
2. be able to have the changes in the rdf be reflected back into the OSM.

I have not the faintest idea what that means, but it sounds impressive!

and abbreviations to help the ignorant like me!

Sounding impressive is not a valid reason to consider
I know it sounds shocking but you can make you ontology as simple as you
want,
and you can have as many as you want.
There does not need to be only one set of rules,
I can defined them for my own little bit of the map and others can use them.
the point is that you can define your terms formally
I think the semantic mediawiki extension would be a great start,
another would be integration of the tagwatch into the wiki,
definition of data collection from the data set into the wiki (deduction)
and
validation and generation of new tags (induction)

Tom,
Sounding impressive is not a valid reason to consider something a good
idea... Basically he's suggesting replacing our current freeform tagging
with some complicated system of rules and ontologies.
But being rude and oversimplifying is valid? As already mentioned, it

My GSOC suggestion :
Get the potlatch running without any Adobe software, use gnash.

Also why does google list OSM as being apache licensed?

I am happy to help coordinate things too.
Maybe we should see how many volunteers we get, then have an off-line
discussion to agree who will do what?
