[OSM-talk] OpenPlantMap

[Shaun McDonald]

This data is a little bit on the specialised side for osm.

I would say that it would be better to setup a separate database and  
site specifically for this purpose based on the current osm software  
and tools.

Then if they want to map roads they deal with that from the osm data  
side. When it comes to map renders they merge the rendered maps with  
the help of transparency or icons/data on rendering.
