no, there aren't, it's the only word for "guide", used in alpine tourism, for tourist guides in general, etc. (even for driving license: "der Führer war ein armes Schwein, er hatte keinen Führerschein"). To me it seems the most appropriate term for a leader like the requested, that shows a strong hand, everybody would get instantly what's this about if we call him OSM-Führer. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
