Hi,
As I missed the last meeting and haven't been following the mailing list posts closely enough lately, I'm not sure what project you have in mind here. But, if you are interested in uploading multi-media assets to a digital map, you can also have a look at Maxamundo which is also based on OSM data -

Hope you are all well.
Best wishes, Yuwei

Sorry for delay in getting back with my mapping inquiries. I've been a bit preoccupied with other stuff - like installing 64bit Mint on this nifty HP laptop I bought from schtrade ;-)
Anyway, I quizzed Andy, the chap on OSM about various things - and got a very helpful and comprehensive reply.
However, I do need to dig a bit more regarding smartphone apps, for recording wayponts for subsequent logging of all the other things that people might do that are to be linked to that location (photographic, audio, video, literary, etc).
Interestingly, there is also a linked site called OpenStreetView http://openstreetview.org/ which hasn't really taken off - and you might be able to understand why when you see some of the initial efforts (close-up photographs of stiles and signposts is no use to anyone). I think the site could have possibilities - but only if it was treated more as a kind of artform rather than a repository for crap photos.
