No, there doesn't. You're talking about it as if these things are mutually exclusive. They're not. OSM right now is the best map in the world for cycling _and_ the best map in the world for humanitarian use.[1] This hasn't required a single focus on either; the focus comes because different people scratch their own itches. I want to see a world where people drive less, so I map the National Cycle Network. Many OSMers want to see help for Haiti, so they helped to map Port-au-Prince. And so on. You keep bringing up addressing because it's important for Skobbler (which, incidentally, I think is a superb product). But that doesn't require me to stop mapping the NCN, or the HOT guys to stop mapping Haiti. It certainly doesn't require that OSM settles on a strategy to concentrate on one of these three. Rather, you - as the person who cares about it - simply need to build some good tools and JFDI. cheers Richard [1] vast over-generalisation.
