Re: [OSM-talk] Missing Background Layers

The motivation for the "cleanup" are not quite clear, however the effect is that the original editor-imagery-index is no longer usable for me too (for example in Vespucci). But it is all open source so I've forked https://github.com/simonpoole/osm-layer-index and reverted the relevant commits.

Holger, I suspect that the regional OpenStreetMap organisations would be good partners for setting up local events and press coverage even though it is a bit short term (there is no one complete list but http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters#Existing_local_chapters and

Re: [OSM-talk] A message to our friends at HOT, Peace Corps etc. about Changeset Comments

This seems a bit of an odd time to announce a schism and I'm sure you didn't intend for your statement to come across as it just did. While rabid anti-OSMers are gaining more power and influence in HOT and MM, I do assume that the majority of the HOT and MM communities are not falling in to the
