This is good to hear, and links to something that I've been thinking of doing for the next Liverpool mapping party (whenever I get around to arranging that). I've been thinking of having some sort of registration process for people who are coming, just something simple that takes the email address of people and their address/postcode/latitude&longitude entered on a map. We would then get people to do Yahoo! tracing of the areas that people are coming from and then send them through a PDF of the blank streets before the mapping party. The idea then would be that people could actually turn up to the mapping party having already done the mapping and we could then take them through how to enter the data into the database. Any thoughts? John _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
