[OSM-talk] Wikimapa what is it?

[Aun Johnsen]

It seems like there are many similar initiatives in Brazil. For some
reason the words of OSM havn't been spread enough, and many
similar-but-not-the-same projects have popped up.

Often when entering contact with such "competing" projects, they
either havn't heard about OSM, or thought OSM as "just another
initiative" when starting. Many of these projects have also only a
small community, or focus only on a relatively small geographical
area.

The Brazilian community on OSM is not very large, and we might need
some more help on how to spread the word in order to merge with some
of these projects, many of them have compatible terms with OSM, so a
complete merge of databases should be just a matter of getting the
content in the right formats.
