what we could use are more people doing projects like opencyclemap and openfiremap and the like to bring out the data they care about in formats that they like. my presentation at SOTM US will include examples of using leaflet, jquery and overpass to create mashups of OHM and OSM data, and i'll be making my javascript available on the ohm github repository under a 3 clause BSD license for anyone who wants to play. there's nothing particularly radical or new in what i'm doing, but i hope it serves as a reminder that there's more than just the rendering on www.openstreetmap.org and if you want to show off the data you've entered, there are ways to do it. richard -- [email protected] Averill Park Networking - GIS & IT Consulting OpenStreetMap - PostgreSQL - Linux Java - Web Applications - Search
