I imagine they would need a helping hand to download the data via a XAPI server and process it to be used on their web site. At the moment they appear to hardcode the mural locations for the map in a string embedded into the page HTML. As they carry some nice pages with further info for each mural, which couldn't really all be stored in OSM, they'd still need a way of keeping their own data and then linking it to OSM objects, perhaps with their own tag. At which point they might wonder - what's the point? Regards, Tom -- http://tom.acrewoods.net http://twitter.com/tom_chance
