Hi Dirk,
Thank you for http://josm.openstreetmap.org/ project. Of course academic staff will be on my side because I am a lecturer and that's my job :) I also agree that mentoring from the project side can fail but the student needs it mostly in the beginning to make an initial dive to the project. So I ask you if someone (Christian, Dirk or someone else) can supervise a student? Dirk, it also would be great if you forward my appeal to openstreetmap project because I am sure it will be interesting for students. - Roman On Feb 15, 2011, at 3:54 PM, Dirk Stöcker wrote: > On Tue, 15 Feb 2011, Roman Prykhodchenko wrote: > >> Getting good mark is a good motivation of course but not the only one.
