[OSM-talk-be] Survey-article / Belgian OSM website

Mon Apr 24 10:02:04 UTC 2017

I wouldn't make things too complicated on the website, my point was that I
see the OSM.be website more as a communication channel between community
and outside world, not as an inter-community communication tool, we have a
lot of those already, wiki, diary posts and this list. The website should
be a portal to get people in belgium interested in OSM, to communicate
about OSM activities in belgium (to both our own community members but also
newcomers).

Again, my point of view, we can discuss... ;-)

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Best regards,

Ben Abelshausen
