<br>
is anyone contributing to OpenStreetMap by using Tor? (the onion router)<br>
Is there any opinion from anyone about this? Tor is used to strengthen<br>

Since the project doesn't log IP Addresses as far as I can tell, there
is no privacy gain by using TOR. <br>

It will be good to check for sure. Certainly in my CommonMap project
it's a different story, I'm using Apache httpd as the web server. Out
of the box httpd logs IP addresses in the access_log. I think OSM is
also using Apache httpd now as well. It's likely that the sysadmins
would almost never use the logging results, but it could still be a
problem if, say, the hardware got seized for investigation.<br>
