[OSM-talk] Lake District, Black Forest, etc.

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

      a word of caution regarding the various ideas of a "Lake  
District" or "Black Forest" mapping week. I'm all for setting high  
goals and challenging tasks, but if you aim too high then it might  
just happen that you end up completing just a fraction of what you  
hoped to complete, and the satisfaction that was likely felt by the  
London participants evades you.

I'd advise against setting the wrong expectectations. I read that the  
Lake District has an area more than 2,000 square kilometres, which is  
quite large already; the Black Forest is more than five times that  
size (and has more than 32,000 kilometres of hiking trails and  
several thousand kilometres of paved roads). I doubt that it is  
possible to map a "significant portion" of either within a week!

So all I'm saying is, select an achievable subset... or recruit more  
mappers ;-)

Bye
Frederik
