It started with nodes
![Page 53: This Mapping Thing Could Really Take Off](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052820/5493309bb47959474d8b47b0/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

then segments

then much later,ways

The API design infected the UI

...only much later do we find that the model,
despite much argument, is what Real Companies
basically use

Some Lessons
![Page 63: This Mapping Thing Could Really Take Off](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052820/5493309bb47959474d8b47b0/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Segments were supposed to be tagged
![Page 64: This Mapping Thing Could Really Take Off](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052820/5493309bb47959474d8b47b0/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Tags worked really well...
![Page 65: This Mapping Thing Could Really Take Off](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052820/5493309bb47959474d8b47b0/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
...but there were supposed to be tag
equivalences
![Page 66: This Mapping Thing Could Really Take Off](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052820/5493309bb47959474d8b47b0/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Tags create debateTags create community

WFS-T is still dumbN/S/W simplicity wins

Workflow was supposed to be split -
•GPS•Vectorisation•Classification

Don’t listen to anyone, they only say everything
is impossible
![Page 72: This Mapping Thing Could Really Take Off](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052820/5493309bb47959474d8b47b0/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)

In short - nobody is pragmatic
![Page 74: This Mapping Thing Could Really Take Off](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052820/5493309bb47959474d8b47b0/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)

Concentrate on community
(it helps if you wrote all the server code too)
![Page 76: This Mapping Thing Could Really Take Off](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052820/5493309bb47959474d8b47b0/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
This means debates (tags), pubs (mapping parties), simplicity (N/S/W) and
spreading the gospel (talks)
![Page 77: This Mapping Thing Could Really Take Off](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052820/5493309bb47959474d8b47b0/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)

Give people doing the work responsibility
(sysadmin, tile, www, OSMF)

We only got here by totally ignoring the GIS
industry

•GPS Inaccurate•WFS-T required•Tags will never work•Database will be too big•OS have mastermap

Should OSM be an open map...

We *still* don’t have PostgreSQL, geoSQL or a new data model
![Page 116: This Mapping Thing Could Really Take Off](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052820/5493309bb47959474d8b47b0/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
It remains to be seen whether anyone will
ever do the work
![Page 117: This Mapping Thing Could Really Take Off](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052820/5493309bb47959474d8b47b0/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
We don’t know when the UK / World will be
finished(mid-2008 anyone?)

Or what map maintenance will look like
(opposed to map creation)

We know we’re going to be at least 50% wrong
