[OSM-talk-be] Intro and invitation to Random Hacks of Kindness

[Marc Gemis]

Pieter,

My "killer" application to show them would be a single website that
combines the following functionality:

a) walking routes (both knooppunten and local routes) with distance as
openwandelkaart.nl
b) background of hikebikemap.de ( I love the hill shading) (and it's faster
than openwandelkaart)
c) route creation as on wandelknooppunt.be (not OSM based)
d) tourist information
   d1) hotels, pubs, restaurants, attractions with links to their websites
& opening hours
        (see  openlinkmap.org and
http://www.netzwolf.info/kartografie/osm/time_domain/map_opening)
   d2) the direct link to mijnlijn for busses (see openlinkmap.org)
   d3) historic buildings, etc as in
http://geschichtskarten.openstreetmap.de/historische_objekte/ with images,
wikipedia links (also in openlinkmap), protected monuments, etc.
   d4) picnic sites, benches, sidewalks, road quality, other information
important to walking/hiking

I would not focus on getting only their data into OSM, (nor De Lijn, nor
Onroerend Erfgoed), but show an app that combines all this data with the
data we have today. It's the combination of all this data that makes OSM
great, not the individual pieces that each institute has themselves.

just my .5 cent
