Has anyone on this list had any success approaching groups to encourage them to join? It occurs to me that, done the right way, it ought to be possible to get groups like mountain bikers to at the very least contribute their .gpx files, which many of them are collecting anyway. Even a network of totally undescribed "highway=track bicycle=yes" is worth something, and it's far easier to add the metadata than to add the route. Steve
