I'm getting this feeling that OSM has suddenly had a lot of very good publicity. I only got found it a few months ago. If I had found it earlier I would not have spent so much time (and money) messing around between people not wanting to spend money on the Royal Mails postcode database (and staring in shear disbelief at the shear cost for very inaccurate data)..... I even got to the point of saying things some thing could not be done which was now I discover a lie due to the work done by OSM (lets say I have been rushed off my feet at work for the last couple of months since I found OSM) Its the old story that its not what you have but how you "sell" it. The Open Source community just can't get the hang of sales and that is why so many Open Source projects fail. This is an ongoing problem. The open source projects that work are the ones with the right evangelists to sell them. Without that it fails.
