why not have a repository of ogg files on the wiki/in a database for all names? when someone downloads some tiles/some data from osmxapi or whatever, it gets the corresponding ogg files someone with the requisite degree in linguistics could provide us with some hints/rules/config/i don't know to set up the software so any of us could do it, or we just record them ourselves. they won't all be the same voice, accent, volume or anything else, but hey it'll be interesting listening as we drive along _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
