Hi Kristy, For my part, I've done a lot of mapping in and around Melbourne, but am now shifting attention to rural areas, particularly since Bing imagery has improved a lot. I do a lot of cycle touring, and a bit of hiking, and have quite an interest in having good data in OSM to support those activities. There's also a big crossover between the needs of 4WD-ers and the kind of cycle touring I like to do, so I'm interested in the issues David Bannon raised. Right at the moment, though, I'm remapping some areas along the Goulburn (southwest of Shepparton) that got lost in the licence change. My take on where the Australian OSM community is at is that we're still a bit scarred from the hugely disruptive licence changeover, and the leaving of some of the rather abrasive individuals in the process. I'd love to see more discussion about goals for the community, individual projects etc. Steve _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
