[ale] Mapathon?

[Grady Harris]

Well, the AJC's got a story about is now, on the first page of the
Metro section and:
http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta-to-be-first-163633.html

I guess somebody wrote to them, asking why this was on the BBC & not
in the AJC. Oh yeah, that was me. For relevance, more or less, to the
list, the fifth & sixth paragraphs--
"The three are part of the crowd of people who will help the nonprofit
OpenStreetMaps create the first comprehensive, open-source electronic
map of a U.S. city. Large swaths of Europe and other countries have
already been mapped by the organization's participants.

What's open source? It is when anyone who registers online with the
nonprofit and learns how to put in data can add whatever he thinks is
useful or fun to the map. It is just like the data that the big Global
Positioning System mapping companies create for car navigation systems
to use."
