[Osmf-talk] seeking feedback on needs summary

Mikel,

    thank you for considering my comments.

Probably true - as someone who only joined in year 2.5 of OSM, I 
sometimes forget that initially OSM was very much a one man show with 
SteveC trying to solve the chicken-and-egg problem ;-)

You are of course right about the common ground etc.; my words have to 
be read in context. For those who do not know, I have produced and 
distributed (meanwhile) about 40.000 OSM flyers in Germany - but this 
has never been a top-down marketing decision ("what can we do to make 
OSM more visible"), but instead was born from community demands (people 
wanted to have something they could give to those who ask "what are you 
doing" when out mapping).

Bye
Frederik
