<div>having no time now to learn Svn / Sphinx, I'm asking you if
it's possible to cooperate with someone already skilled on

<div>Attached here there is the text I thought for the other OSM

focus in this doc on the OSM database (respect the previous

<div>I tried to write the .rst file just with an ascii editor,
hoping to speed up the activity.</div>
<div>If this it's ok, I can write in the same manner the other

Thanks for your text, and sorry for delayed response.<br>
<br>
My initial thoughts are that you write well, but the
structure of the document doesn't fit well with our
OSGeo-Live template format.<br>
<br>
Have you had a look at our documentation writing guidelines,
linked from:<br>

<br>
In particular, have a look at the comments in the PostGIS
Project Overview or UDig Quickstart source RST files.

“OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative project to create a
free editable map of the world” [wikipedia].<br>
The project started in 2004, and to date there are nearly 3
million people around the world who have contributed to the
OpenStreetMap database, which is the collector of all
geolocalized information (updated statistics here).<br>
The impressive growth of the OSM phenomenon is well
documented in this animation , and to appreciate the level
of detail of OSM information compared to other maps (i.e.
Google ...) you can use this web page : choose a location
you well know, and then zoom more and more… lacking a
bench, a basket for garbage, a tree? Well, map it!<br>
OSM is not only an excellent example of open data, but also
its community gives an impressive boost at the increasing
trend of open data request: local OSM community indeed is
putting pressure on (local and central) government agencies
to make public and freely reusable their geo-localized data.
On the other hand, more and more public agencies have
adopted OSM data and services for their activities.<br>
On the social side, another major project is HOT
(Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team): “…when a disaster or
political crisis happens, HOT leaps into action to map the
affected area with a global network of volunteers. Disaster
responders, such as the Red Cross and Doctors without
Borders, are using these detailed maps in the response to
these crises”. Since the Israeli-Gaza conflict (2008),
several disasters had the prompt support by the HOT team:
Haiti earthquake (2010), West Africa Ebola Epidemic (2014)
and Nepal Earthquake (2015), just to name a few.<br>
<br>
OSM data are freely reusable, both for no profit and profit
organizations: you can start from <a moz-do-not-send="true"

: here you can browse the Map, and you can also begin to
contribute (after registration to join the community),
directly inserting geolocalized data.<br>
In the Web there are tons of guides, tutorial, etc. to learn
to use OSM and the numerous OSM-related tools, the OSM wiki
(available in almost all languages) and <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://learnosm.org"

starting points: here you can find for example a list of
software applications using OSM data and services (for
desktop, mobile devices, …), or the portal to the many OSM
mapping projects, and various OSM-tools learning guides.<br>
