Dear Graham, Thank You Sir for the detailed instruction set. As you said I am currently doing some playing with OSM. Also I am doing some research for choosing a specific idea. Soon I will choose one.
So if I choose one form that idea list, I have to give my proposal saying what I am going implement that project idea. Simply my plan. Isn't it? Also can I put proposal's to more than one project from your organization?
