[OSGeo-Discuss] Open source map server

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi,
Koordinates.com is currently hosting a whote 'tone' of data, where
each dataset /item is independently licenced.
The API isn't open source, but the data is free.



On the next level, the CommonMap.org project, is 'just like OSM' but
with the ccBY licence for it's data, were all shp file source
attributes are maintained, with the addition of 'osm-tags'.


If anyone knows of better systems, please do share, as duplicate
efforts on where to spend time is a frequent occurance. :)



cheers,
sam
