</span>This mailing list is the right place to discuss openstreetmap, it would<br>
be wrong to expect mappers to sign up for an a 3rd pary site to discuss<br>
openstreetmap.<br>
<br>
As for your comment, I would say you are wrong, OSM is way ahead of<br>
google in terms icons and map style. Most places are almost devoid of<br>
mapped icons on google maps.<br>
