I still wonder why volunteers would contribute to a closed map instead of an open map. I agree Google is good in PR for Mapmaker. The question is how we will have good PR for OSM, with the goal to attract more active mappers. This might be a challenge for the CWG though. First brainstorm idear from this non-CWG-er: invite some magazines to compare Mapmaker to OSM<br>
