on the other hand, demanding that the rendering on
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org">www.openstreetmap.org</a><br>
be all things to all people is actually pretty unreasonable. the
current<br>
architecture which separates data from style is well considered and
in line<br>
with modern best practices; i haven't yet seen an argument that
would<br>
persuade me otherwise.<br>
<br>
what we could use are more people doing projects like opencyclemap
and<br>
openfiremap and the like to bring out the data they care about in
formats<br>
that they like.<br>
<br>
my presentation at SOTM US will include examples of using leaflet,
jquery<br>
and overpass to create mashups of OHM and OSM data, and i'll be
making<br>
my javascript available on the ohm github repository under a 3
clause BSD<br>
license for anyone who wants to play.<br>
<br>
there's nothing particularly radical or new in what i'm doing, but i
hope it<br>
serves as a reminder that there's more than just the rendering on<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org">www.openstreetmap.org</a> and if you want to show off the data you've<br>
entered, there are ways to do it.<br>
