Do you or anyone else know the status of Peter "sherbourne" Millar? I emailed him about a month ago and have heard nothing back. He's responsible for (or has touched) much of Coventry which is very well mapped and it would be a shame to lose his contributions. Does anyone have an alternative contact route for him as otherwise I'll have to start remapping Coventry myself soon (maybe an excuse for a mapping party?). -- Matt Williams http://milliams.com _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
