Hi,
I'm PB from Cuba, and I would like to share an idea to extend the use
of Walking-Papers. The intention is to reach all those people whom do
not have an e-mail or Internet access, and in many cases not even a
computer.
We are proposing use the postal mail to send printed maps
(Walking-Papers or printed screen captures from OSM) and gather them
(marked) using the same way.
Until now, this is only an idea. I have made some test with excelent
results, so I would like to know about similar experiences or maybe
some recommendation to improve the performance...
A few loose thoughts:
- Organize a campain for printed media or radio maybe
- To reward the most outstanding contributions
- Something else?
Just add an special thanks to the guys from the German community, who
have been helping to grow our map.
PB
