And thank you, too. I've always been sceptical about this sort of event - my vision for OSM is that we need more contributors with local knowledge, not more "remote mapping" - but in hindsight I think this, and MapRoulette, are showing some really interesting ways forward. By applying the OSM community to a problem in Mechanical Turk fashion, we're able to achieve much better results than an unthinking import or automated edit would do. Give the OSM community a task and it will carry it out much better than you'd imagine. There's lots we can learn from that. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Operation-Cowboy-Preaparing-Thank-you-gift-tp5737472p5738099.html Sent from the USA mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
