Honestly potlatch has become far better than it's reputation :D The German mappers, as far as I can tell from abroad, try not to make a special German approach to mapping, but to create an universal international map. There was a discussion some months ago about castle types, where the German words "Burg" and "Schloss", introduced by an archeologist into the wiki, were strongly rejected and translated/transcripted into English even if it doesn't have exact terms for these words. The times of "am deutschen Wesen soll die Welt genesen" (imperial saying) are long gone ;-) cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Talk-de mailing list Talk-de@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-de
