Given that folks want to go way back in history, it's also worth noting that "street" doesn't have a universal historical connotation. (Thinking here of historians that one would love to have get involved working on early Norse societies or archeologists working with pre-colonial history of the Americas both of whom might be excited about working with historical maps, but might see the word "street" and think it's not really for them). I don't think that's a
particularly significant issue, but just a short note to mention that the project might seem more inviting to some if it didn't have "Street" in the title.<BR>><BR>i think OHM is fine. i also think we might consider using ohm: as a <BR>prefix for tags so that<BR>there is a unique namespace for the project.<BR><BR>richard<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Historic mailing list<BR><a ymailto="mailto:Historic@openstreetmap.org" href="javascript:return">Historic@openstreetmap.org</a><BR><a href="http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/historic" target=_blank >http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/historic</a><BR></td>
