It does interest me and I will have a go at it (eventually).  However I
have a few more pressing issues (OSMwise).  We urgently need to complete
the street name reclamation of Australia.
To this end I will be mapping Hay and Narrandra in the next two weeks and
fixing up Mildura and Renmark. I'll also knock out a few of the suburbs in
Adelaide that have lost their street names.

Also (and this could be done by an armchair mapper,local or overseas) we
need to get all the house addresses for Australia into OSM.

I'm also spending a lot of time fixing "crazy TIGER" roads in th US (I'm
having a huge battle with some really crazy stuff near Lake Arrowhead).
Once all the crazy TIGER roads are fixed and all the US house addresses are
added then and only then will (I believe) Nokia start to use OpenStreetMaps
in their mapping app. Then all the others (Apple, Google etc) will have to
follow suit.

Once all this has happened then I intend to spend a lot of time writing
software for the mobile platform to do stuff that I find interesting.
