Today Development Seed is excited to launch mapping.team. At the core of this platform is the new OSM Teams API, a platform-agnostic tool for mappers, organizations and developers to coordinate mapping and build communities. Visit dev.mapping.team to start creating teams of OSM users, or use the OSM Teams API to integrate the service into your own app.
