[OSM-talk] Digesting the List and the Community

[Mikel Maron]

I thought "This week on the OpenStreetMap list..." was such a good idea
http://www.opengeodata.org/?p=78

Personally, when I get busy, there's no way I can follow all the discussion. 
There are many many people out there involved and interested in OSM, but can't keep up.

And that's too bad, cause there's real juicy detailed discussion and knowledge in there. 
New editing conventions, techniques, tools, ideas, areas, events.

The OpenGeoData blog is good for highlighting big news, and the featured images good
for watching progress but the detailed nuggets are getting lost. (Is there an GeoRSS feed
for the featured images, btw?).

"This week on " solved this problem by providing a 10000 foot view on our community.
It also makes the community more accessible to new contributors. But I guess it only
ran for one week!

So this is a call out for some motivated, list engaged, clear writing individual, to take on this on.
I know it's a big job .. so I offer to pay the flight to Manchester for State of the Map to whoever
fully takes this on.
