Clifford: I've been in touch with Spencer about updating data in Madison, WI. I'm a longtime OSMer and vice president of a local bike advocacy group, Madison Bikes. In both those capacities I'm really excited about this project. We have a supportive Metropolitan Planning Organization with good data, and I think we'll be able to mobilize a bunch of bike folks with great local knowledge for a successful mapathon. We're trying to document the whole process so that other communities can follow the model. I think having the support of an existing local OSM community, or at least a handful of local powermappers is pretty important for projects such as these to succeed.
