Hi,<br>
I'm PB from Cuba, and I would like to share an idea to extend the use<br>
of Walking-Papers. The intention is to reach all those people whom do<br>
not have an e-mail or Internet access, and in many cases not even a<br>
computer.<br>
We are proposing use the postal mail to send printed maps<br>
(Walking-Papers or printed screen captures from OSM) and gather them<br>
(marked) using the same way.<br>
Until now, this is only an idea. I have made some test with excelent<br>
results, so I would like to know about similar experiences or maybe<br>
some recommendation to improve the performance...<br>
A few loose thoughts:<br>
- Organize a campain for printed media or radio maybe<br>
- To reward the most outstanding contributions<br>
- Something else?<br>
<br>
Just add an special thanks to the guys from the German community, who<br>
have been helping to grow our map.<br></blockquote></div><br>It is really an excellent idea. I was planning to organize a walking paper mail out in my home town in a few months to see how it could work out. I was planning in my case to contact the mayor office to see if I could coordinate with them if they were interested.<br>
The idea of postcard is very good. If you need help, let me know I will see what I could do.<br><br>Emilie Laffray<br>
