[OHM] 5/29 Dev Meeting notes

[Pieter Vander Vennet]

Hello,

I'm afraid my previous email has been lost into the void.

I will be the coach for Open Summer Of Code coming july. A small
heritage organisation asked us to create 'some tool to make adding
heritage data easier'.

I was planning to create an iD-fork for OHM with presets that they would
need - is that a good idea?

The slider is pretty cool btw!
