[OSM-talk] Status of Map Features

[Andy Robinson]

There's not anything I can really post on right now as I'm bogged down with
other stuff and need to get time to devote to it properly. So far the
structure is conceptual (I'm not a coder by trade so I plan things first by
default). I used my original Map Features set as the starting point and then
broke it down into specific "layers". Some of the layers are physical and
some are non physical. Within each layer I'm trying to maintain a logical
hierarchy as well as extensibility.

As soon as I have a basis mapped out in xml (validated xml at that too) I
will be putting it in SVN. That will be a good point for comments and help.

Sorry I don't have much more right now.

Cheers

Andy
