[OSGeo-Discuss] Open "StreamMap"?

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi,
The CommonMap.org API will be able to handle data-extracts, so then
independent maps can be remixed into new works.


Especially for data like 'groundwater', it'll probably be added to
CommonMap, but might not get to OpenStreetMap.


Cheers,
Sam
