Hi folks, with Ben Dalton, I'm happy to properly launch The New Cloud Atlas project at http://newcloudatlas.org
I've written a blog post to explain it in more detail: https://thinkwhere.wordpress.com/2016/08/17/the-new-cloud-atlas-mapping-the-physical-infrastructure-of-the-internet/ It's a project to collect and make a map to better understand what "The Internet" means, physically and geographically. The site has a tweaked iD editor with custom telecoms presets, it creates a couple of map tilesets showing these features from OSM, with clickable features on the map. We encourage you to map your local data centres, street cabinets, telephone exchanges, telephone poles, manhole covers and more! Telecoms features in OSM are not consistently mapped with regards to each other which could provide an opportunity for some consolidation or making new taxonomies. I've created WikiProject Telecoms to help with this tagging discussion: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Telecoms Cheers and I look forward to your comments!
