For the avoidance of doubt  ITO is delighted that the community has  
integrated a history tab into the main OpenStreetMap site  which is  
clearly the correct place for it. Congratulations to all involved.

Note that OSM Mapper still offers unique functionality to the  
community, such as the ability to produce maps showing who edited  
within an area, when the edits were made, allows selected data to be  
exported as KML, all sorts of clever RSS feeds and we will continue to  
develop the product to help the OpenStreetMap community improve the  
quality and completeness of the OSM data. Do sign up here!

Our primary  interest however is to help the professional sector make  
use of crowd-sourced data and ITO was plugging OpenStreetMap at  
OpenGoveEvent in London attended by senior guys from the government  
sector on Wednesday.

ITO is also a partner in 'Ideas in Transit', a high profile government  
funded research project which is developing a unique resource for  
policy makers to help the understand what user innovation is taking  
place in the transport sector. We aim to provide a one page wiki  
article to all major transport related user innovation projects. Feel  
free to add stuff or just browse - and do please ignore the gross  
adverts that we are going to be removing very soon!

Btw, OSM Mapper has problems with imports at present - we are working  
on it and will have a full service back within the next few days.  
Sorry about any inconvenience.
