[HOT] HOT OSM in education

Sat May 4 04:41:15 UTC 2013

Brian,

That is already listed as a feature enhancement in Github.
https://github.com/hotosm/learnosm/issues/93

If anyone has other suggestions they are best if logged there so they can
be tracked. We can't guarantee we will do them (much of LearnOSM is a
volunteer effort), but at least people will know they are requested.
