My current business model is to provide a UK based service which I can share freely with others and provides both current and historic material for the UK. What is preventing this happening is all the disjointed elements that are being used currently between OSM, OHM and other services. Up until now my time has been spent trying to make that come to fruition while still trying to add raw data and updates and trying to ensure current material is not simply dumped when new history is created. The current changes to OSM has changed priorities so what I'm trying to achieve HERE is some help to get the alternative service running ASAP while in the meantime fire fighting once again the support system :( No I don't have a bottomless pit of money to pay for services, so I have to compensate by the best use of what resources are available, and I can provide hardware and use my spare bandwidth to do that. I bought the machine for this job some months back but as yet it is still only partially working ... now if others are working to the same end can we not pool that resource? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
