[Openstreetmap] freeing the postcode database

[SteveC]

As a little side project to openstreetmap I thought it would be good to
nail the postcode database problem:

http://www.freethepostcode.org/

The site will backend to OSM just as soon as I can get the work done. I
think it's useful to have a simple side thing like this. I don't think
it would be that hard to get a large number of postcodes with a
(relatively) few core people taking a GPS everywhere.

Comments? Suggestions? Bugs?

I'm happy to open up the site to places other than the UK, and see what
other things we can do specifically to nail the postcode database.

have fun,
