[OSM-talk] Early History of OSM

[Joseph Reeves]

Hi Clifford,

There's not early maps here, but Pascal neis recently worked out some great
statistics concerning the age of OSM data:

http://neis-one.org/2014/07/age-of-osm-objects/

These may provide a useful parallel to any early tiles; if nothing else
they should show you something about the amount of data that exists from
these early days.

Cheers, Joseph
