Nice!
Troisdorf uses Mapbender which is using layers much in the same but more
sophisticated way I mention below ...

Hi,

You can find some usage of OSM related to communes  here
<https://www.google.be/search?&q=site%3Abe+commune+%28OpenStreetMap%20OR%20OSM%29>  
and   there
<https://www.google.be/search?&q=site%3Abe+gemeente+%28OpenStreetMap+OR+OSM%29>.
For example, first that catches my eye and that I open:  Ma commune sans
#TTIP / TAFTA ?
<http://www.ellezelles.ecolo.be/?Ma-commune-sans-TTIP-TAFTA>  by œucolo.


Those who got municipalities interested in OSM are lucky fellows (1).

Municipalities however are an answer to the former question "Subject:
Idea?" to make some money.
I recall my page <http://www.papou.byethost9.com/maps/OpenLayers.html>
showing how to easily make not only one POI map but also a mix of
several sources.
We could propose municipalities and other establishments to host their
POIs on our own server.
Unlike in my examples, the details of the POIs would be in the OSM
database itself.
The customers would send by e-mail updates in the form of OSM tags to
validate & paste right into JOSM:

> building=house ...
> shop=... or other feature
> name=...
> addr:city=<municipality>
> addr:place=<part-municipality>
> addr:street=...
> addr:housenumber=...
> addr:postcode=...
> contact:email=e-mail_address
> contact:fax=+32-n-<fax>
> contact:phone=+32-n-<phone>
> contact:website=http://...
> image=<image>
> wikipedia=<wikipedia>

The POI map data would be a simple list of OSM objects IDs.
A POI cache would probably be needed for performance.

Cheers

André.


(1)
I wrote before that every time I proposed OSM tagging (to them or other
organizations), either I got no reply or they picked my idea and they
did it with Googlemaps.
Lately, I met our bourgmestre and I mentioned the OSM boundary one of of
our "part-municipalities".  Firstly, I was amazed how well he knows it
despite it belongs to history. But secondly I was disappointed he
replied that drawing it is totally uninteresting.  I had no time to
convince the busy man about OSM and the many of you.
I also proposed to map municipality related car sharing stops (where
sort of subscribed hitch hikers stop subscribed cars) and make a POI
map. Not only made they the map with Google but also they disregarded
adding the stops to OSM (and moreover I couldn't have OSM tell me the
tags to use for that particular feature).
Etc.
