[OSM-talk] New tool/API to find local OSM mailing lists by location

[Rebecca Firth]

Hi,

I can see this being really useful, thanks Edward!

Echoing what Joost said, it would be great to be able to see more
information on the community, and also possibly to see more than one result
e.g. if I search a city, it could be useful to see the mailing list for
that location plus the country / regional one?

On the Missing Maps website we tried to do something similar to make it
easier for people who want to run mapathons to connect with other local
volunteers who might be keen to support them and grow the local community
further - http://www.missingmaps.org/host/#helper-map-contents (you can
sign up at the link if you're keen to join).

Thanks,

Rebecca
