[Openstreetmap] Re: Openstreetmap Digest, Vol 5, Issue 8

Wed Jan 26 16:18:57 GMT 2005

I was wondering if this forum is UK based or has an
international scope? Are you going with vector files
and parcel centroids point addressing? and do you plan
to do routing as well. Will it be a PC network or have
 its own server and administration or just an informal
network? Just curious, as I am US based and have
interests in the above if anyone cares to respond.
