That is a great idea.<br>What about making video as well, on how to use OSM/JOSM/Potlatch how to get started.

guide" for mapping. We all know that there is a little haos in tagging<br>
(some says it's good, some says it bad), but so far biggest confusion<br>
comes from not how to tag things, but how to tag complex situations or<br>
how to even map complex situations (and that's without even taking<br>
micro mapping into account).<br>
<br>
What we need is nice guide where is said - basic roads are maped like<br>
this, crossroads created this way, this must be connected with that,<br>
etc. It would also create a nice little base for futher experiments<br>
and ideas. There's nothing wrong with seeking out alternative tags or<br>
ways of mapping, but this at least should be documented somewhere.<br>
<br>
More or less everyone who would take this task would have to go trough<br>
all archives, look for discusions and conlusions (and even if there is<br>
no conlusion, writing down all sane opinions would help greatly) and<br>
write it down in casual user manual style.<br>
<br>
Just a idea, but I think worth to explore,<br>
cheers,<br>
Peter.<br>
