[OHM] Moving Historical Geodata to the Web & Questions about OHM Decision Making Process

[Jeff Meyer]

Laura -

I'd just like to make sure that the response to your email doesn't seem
too-too-will-o-the-wisp!

Have you seen the response to the digest thread?

I think we might take up Susanna on her offer to attend the Wikimaps
meeting, but my guess is we have enough issues of our own that will warrant
our own meeting schedule. I'm hoping to get a few

As for the HOT OSM Tasking Manager - I love that idea. We have a
combination of development, content, and other needs to really get OHM
humming. I'm not sure the Tasking Manager lends itself well to our
immediate tasks, but even if that's not the answer, we need _something_ to
help us track to-do's and to recruit volunteers. The current OHM wiki is
probably not the best tool for that, for sure!

So... we still need to put together a more detailed guiding plan, but I'm
hoping we can avoid the ethereal response you've referenced. We're going to
get there!

Thanks!
Jeff
