there are some good intros on the wiki, potlatch is a great place to
start, its a simple flash based editor. It lets your draw over
copyright free aerial photos, liverpool has quite good coverage.<br>

the whole system is built on ways (lines) and points (really just a
very short way), which are all tagged<br>
look at tags on existing ways in potlatch, your main reference for them
though is here <a

<pre wrap="">I sent this out to the Open Street Map mailing list yesterday but I
thought the people on here might be interested too. There's also an

have an account on the OSM wiki:

Looks interesting, on a weekend as well. Hopefully by then i'll have
my N95 so i'll be able to help out. Infact, it's worth me attending
just in case my old friend chippy turns up.
As i'm joining OSM as a newbie, and i'll be unable to attend Geekup
(work in Birchwood, hard to get the train to Liverpool for the start
time), can you give a few pointers in the right direction?
