<p>Hi Marco,</p>
<p>I've gone over your doc updates, and have made some small
adjustments to the original OSM Project Overview, but have not
included all of your new text there. (The original OSM Project
Overview was reasonably good - the OSM Quickstart could be
improved quite a bit.)<br>
</p>
<p>Our aim with Project Overviews is to keep the documentation very
concise, providing high level information.</p>
<p>The material you have provided is a closer match to the
introduction of Quickstart documentation, but is not in the
Quickstart format.</p>
<p>It would be good to brainstorm ideas with you about what should
be in the OSM Quickstart. The current OSM Quickstart is not as
good as Quickstarts for other projects, and based on what you have
written so far, I can see you probably have the experience to help
us get the Quickstart back into good shape.</p>
<p>I don't think we will be able to get the OSM Quickstart updated
in time for our next 10.0 release, but we can aim for the 10.5
release.</p>
<p>Warm regards, Cameron<br>

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>

In particular, have a look at the comments in the PostGIS

“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

OSM wiki (available in almost all languages) and <a
