| Reykjavík, Iceland to commission a cyclemap based on OpenStreetMap data + potential data donation | @stevage Hopefully yeah, but that's way beyond the discussion we're in now. We'll see how any site that gets set up will look like, and how the tooling around it will work. |

| Resignation in protest | Richard: We probably have as many "aim[s] of OSM" as we have contributors. With the transition to the ODbL one of the byproducts of OSM, which is that if you make a rendering using our map data it has to be freely licensed too, is going away. You and I may agree that that's a good thing. But contributors who've become accustomed to being able to survey data *and* be guaranteed to use any renderings of that data under the CC-BY-SA (as has been the case until now) might not like the new terms. |

| Non-legalese version of the contributor terms | I've fixed the typo, thanks. Maybe there should be a choice of license, but that's not what the terms themselves offer. You either accept them as-is or you can't sign up. |

| The OpenStreetMap website now links to Key:* and Tag:* pages on the wiki | I thought I'd add support for wikipedia=* links as well (not yet live). @JohnSmith: Yeah Pumba :) @amm: Yeah. It would just be neat if there was more integration between them. I've also found that Tagwatch is really slow today, the OpenStreetMap wiki is probably a better default target. |

| The OpenStreetMap website now links to Key:* and Tag:* pages on the wiki | @JohnSmith: The problem with that is that it's not easy to tell what values deserve wiki pages. Does I guess we could combine it with something like tagstat and only link to missing key/values that are really popular. Is there a dump of it available somewhere? @Richard: Tagging is a mess. What I was aiming for was the "what does this value mean" case, not just statistics about it. If someone makes a tool that includes both that would be awesome & we could link to that. We could also link to both if we could do so unobtrusively. |

| I've added Icelandic names for all the capitals in the world | You mean automatically fill in Arabic capital names? They're only around ~300 so I just manually filled them in, it took less time than it would have to write a program to do it. |
