Great work!
I can see how the top questions will become a priority for us to try and solve.
Because there is TONNES of work to be done, this puts focus on making
the top questions answered.
This, inturn, will attract the other developers out there (ie from KDE
Marble Desktop, MapServer who might be able to teach and share new
ways of using OSM data.
As well, the answers provided ends up being the best. :-)
kind of like Yahoo! Answers, but for OSM.

Awesome!
