[Aust-NZ] New to the list

[Cameron Shorter]

Plugin is probably the wrong term.
We have a mobile based application which allows a user to easily add 
tracks to OSM from their mobile phone. This is handled by another part 
of our company, so I'm a bit rusty on details.

Re licences, there are some presentations discussing Australia's moves 
in the direction of publishing Public Sector Information via Creative 
Commons.
