The HOT tasking server, aiui, helps with dividing up areas of interest. So while redaction remapping isn't exactly a typical HOT task, they have tools that might be an interesting addition to the tool belt. Rallying can be as simple as sending a post to talk@, or a message on IRC #osm. I see that a post has already been sent to talk-gb@ asking for armchair mappers to help out in AU and to keep an eye on this list. > Also, FWIW, the Bing imagery is generally great - I've certainly not > seen anything like a 100m discrepancy.

Well, this is OSM, so there will be well reasoned arguments for both of the alternatives that you present and several that we haven't imagined. :-) Best regards and happy mapping, Richard _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
