Maybe my comment wasn't clear. When I've done training for OSM, it's been in the context of a crisis event when we had 20-40 people using areal imagery to examine an area and map it. They would classify roads, detect destroyed buildings, identify tent cities, etc. The point wasn't just to train them in some abstract way, but to make real change. - Serge _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
