[OSM-talk] [OSM-dev] GSoC'10

lets put it in a different perspective :

Make the documentation as part of the program!

I would like to see for example a help system that is integrated to the
wiki,
Click on a tag, have it pull up the wiki entry, be able to add new unknown
tags or rename them.
We could even have an OWL Ontology created with a reasoning engine to
specify rules for tagging.

Really, the software should be so good that you dont need docs or videos.
