>> Hello everyone -

>> Myself and my colleages from the Development Seed and MapBox team are

>> to put this money to good use. The goal is to improve editing
>> infrastructure to enable better and more focused editors, update
>> openstreetmap.org with social features to allow better interaction

>> to scale better. The community has already identified issues in these areas
>> and begun to make massive improvements. We'll collaborate with existing
>> efforts as much as possible and do all work in the open, on platforms like
>> GitHub and producing exclusively open source code.
>>
>> These are broad brushstrokes for now, without much technical detail.
>> Right now we're getting our house in order - we will follow up in the next
>> weeks with more detailed thoughts on where we would like to go. In the
>> meantime, fire away with questions here or feel free to get in touch
>> directly under alex at mapbox.com.
