It is great to have input and that that of W3. I know that you are personally keen on a free geographic web to support a semantic web and that is of course what OSM is busy collecting. If the subtext of your post is that W3 is interested in OSM and the standards behind it then we are all ears. Personally I think 2009 will be a breakthrough year for the project and we are going to need all the help we can get to deal with the expectations that will be raised.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><br></div></div>Regards,<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Peter Miller</div><div><br></div></body></html>
