[OSM-talk] The Open Source OpenStreetMap Book

[Tomi Toivio]

Finnish translation will be done here:
http://fi.flossmanuals.net/kirjoita/openstreetmap/_v/1.0/edit/

Of course it would be possible to use some other tool but then it should be
discussed so that people don't end up translating the same chapters using
different tools.

I was asking the Finnish discussion list if there are Finnish-speaking users
of OSM who would like to help with the translation. It would also be useful
to add information about the localization of different OSM editors and some
examples about the use of OpenStreetMap in Finland.

Regards
Tomi
