I just noticed your website and thought I'd see if you had mentioned it on the OSM mailing list, to find that you had just over an hour ago. I have the openstreetview.org and .net domains and have been thinking about this for the past two years without actually getting very far on the technology side. The openviewproject.org site also looks quite interesting, seems there's lots of people considering this.<div><br></div><div>John<br><div><br><div><div>On 1 May 2009, at 15:59, Mikel Maron wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div><div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span>See also:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a target="_blank" href="http://openviewproject.org/">http://openviewproject.org/</a></span><br></div><div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><br><div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold; ">From:</span></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Ian Dees <<a href="mailto:ian.dees@gmail.com">ian.dees@gmail.com</a>><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold; ">To:</span></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Nick Whitelegg <<a href="mailto:Nick.Whitelegg@solent.ac.uk">Nick.Whitelegg@solent.ac.uk</a>><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold; ">Cc:</span></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:talk@openstreetmap.org">talk@openstreetmap.org</a><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold; ">Sent:</span></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Friday, May 1, 2009 10:15:42 AM<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold; ">Subject:</span></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Re: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetView<br></font><br>On Fri, May 1, 2009 at 9:05 AM, Nick Whitelegg<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span dir="ltr"><<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:Nick.Whitelegg@solent.ac.uk" target="_blank" href="mailto:Nick.Whitelegg@solent.ac.uk">Nick.Whitelegg@solent.ac.uk</a>></span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>wrote:<br><div class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex; ">I have put together an extremely simple facility to allow users to upload<br>panoramas and view their location on a slippy map at<br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.openstreetview.org.uk/">http://www.openstreetview.org.uk/</a>.
