Bing sat is provided with official support from Microsoft. This is very good. I’m very surprised because I know Windows is one of the 2 greatest closed-source OS’s out there. Although surprised, I’m very very happy that Microsoft provides us aerial/satellite images. Compared to Yahoo or even our “new national maps for Greece”(CC-BY 3, incompatible with odbl) it is way better.

Yahoo never gave us their official support but just some of their employees helped osm to solve some interpretation issues of their terms of service.

Thanks Microsoft for your kind donation of Bing maps! People, the media misinforms people on a regular basis. It’s their job.

Can all the data be used so it is compatible with the CC-BY-SA 2.0 or the new database license discussed at legal-talk of osm?

The openstreetmap data you mean? or GPS traces stored on the openstreetmap server?

You joined at the right moment! Recently (transition from version 0.5->0.6) the feature of adding comments to your edits have been introduced. I use this to document what I do, and in that way it's like a mini-diary sort of thing.

It reminds me of Wikipedia's comments that you add after making an edit.

Yes. Although I use JOSM. In the beginning I used potlatch a bit, but I was afraid to make errors, so I started learning JOSM (took a while), and it works differently than potlatch.

I've lived in only two countries: Sweden, and now I live in Greece.

We need a mapper like you, to spot these mistakes. Good work!

I don't know. I use yahoo imagery , and I visit places by foot. I don't use any gps or audio recording. Although I sometimes use the camera in my cell phone.
Maybe you can post your message to a mailing list, or the openstreetmap forum at http://forum.openstreetmap.org/

Not only works, but is a very beautiful map! (mapnik) :)

That's great. Your contributions are welcome.

marinheiro, maybe it's better for us to learn programming and write some sort of script which adds tags to a selected area and automatically adds the postcodes to them. Then everyone can use it and we don't have to do lots of work separately, thus saving lots of time.

The key used for the building/entrance number is (key) addr:housenumber (value) number . In JOSM version 970 (which I use) I select from menu Presets-> Places-> Addresses, so I didn't notice the key until it was set automatically.

I first learnt about the general project here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/House_numbers/Karlsruhe_Schema

I walk or use public transport. I don't think I ever want a car, but prefer a bus where lots of people can be moved around with little gas/fuel.

Nice progress. The differences between mapnik and osmarender show that there is work going on there.
