Hi Steve, Short answer, we have active plans to expand and should have some news within the next few weeks. The model we are following is the Craigslist "island" model, i.e. focusing on adding metro areas and regions one by one (as opposed to expanding in a big circle from Minneapolis). Currently, we do not integrate with OSM at all, and I agree with you. In terms of data sharing OSM to Cyclopath, we are leery of the OSM licensing mess and hesitate to get involved. The other way round would work fine (a previous poster gave our data license as CC, but actually we have broad freedom to share the data under general openness goals). I'd also be interested in how we might move towards sharing tool chains and things. I believe the key issues here might be data complexity (we have a lot more types of features and relationships than just ways) and all the fiddly little choices that are made differently between two independent projects.
