I can wander around pretty well, too -- I do a good random walk. Sounds good, can help with debugging & refuctoring if you like.

Yeah, there are a few same-minded people around - <a href="http://bat.vr.ucl.ac.uk/steve/wiki/index.php/HomePage">OpenStreetmap</a> in London is one. I wanted to do my own spike solution, because group open source-y projects starting from scratch have a tendency to die an early death, bogged down in masses of over-planning. Keeping things to myself (at first) allows me to do a few iterations, making a detailed map of just one small area to refine my method of collection and processing from start to finish. Then I can expand the scope of the map outwards, and worry about niceties like XML-RPC interfaces for submitting data and PostGIS database as and when I need them. Cheers.

I would like to register a vague interest in helping in some way, or at least talking about helping. (c: Did you have a look around to see whether anyone else is trying something similar in their part of the world? This is very cool.
