I printed out two copies each of six areas in Liverpool and left them in two cafés. On the other side of the paper I put some text briefly describing the project and asking that people either hand it in to one of the cafés or scan it in and email it to me - didn't have much space and I was hoping people realised they could post it back if they wanted. So far I don't know if anyone has completed an area, I'm not aware of them being handed in and haven't received an email, but I know a few have been taken and they even got me in touch with a Slovakian person with an interest in OSM who happened to be in Liverpool! If you're interested this is what I put on the reverse side, if I do it again I'll add a title saying what area is covered though in my case it should have been guessable from the existing coverage: http://johnmckerrell.com/files/osm-walking-papers-cover.pdf John _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
