[p2p-research] Mapping P2P, was: Re: Fwd: "P2P-Urbanism World Atlas"

Wed Sep 1 11:43:05 CEST 2010

Hi Thomas,

ok for openstreetmap then,

could you perhaps start up an application we can use, and we start with
geotagging and placing p2p places in it?

I'm certainly willing to help with the compilation work, if someone else
starts up the infrastructure,

I would consider this a very great enhancement for our work, and help
travelling peers worldwide to find contacts and places to visit and learn
from,

Michel
