Hi,
One last set of questions before I set it up.
I noticed that the Dunbar cake looks like it has been extended over time, am i right?
Would it be better if we held the virtual meetup on the thursday after the monthly meetings
I was thinking of creating the cake "Scotland" this would entail making a seperate shared openstreetmap account.
Can the same cake be in two separate areas eg Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling so that we can share the same chat window
Does this seem the way to go or are there other suggestions
Cheers
Bob

I agree that the chat on
Mapcraft cake is a nice feature, and it also
lets you set up arbitrary shaped areas rather
than just squares, which
would be more
suited to Edinburgh.
I
don't think I will be free this Thursday, but don't
let that stop
you setting something up.
If you could leave the areas
around Inch/Liberton for now, and I will
try
and do those as I get a chance to survey addresses over the
next
few months. It makes it easier to see
where I've not added anything.
Perhaps Glasgow is due for an update first
anyway, seeing as we have
just mapped
Duddingston?
Cheers,
Donald
