I've been mapping for a while south of Barcelona, using Yahoo imagery mostly, and some traces of mine where the imagery is outdated. I've also used GPS traces to correct the offset present in the ortophotographs.

In the last couple of days I've turned to the cadastre to find street names not in my inmediate vicinity. I gather this is most likely OK from the wiki and the mailing lists. If not it would be nice to have a tool that would allow me to mass edit specific tags to delete the names.

It's surprising how much a single person can do just by using potlatch. Looking forward for this project to gain popularity. Also looking forward to the day when I can use a routing application based on OSM, and better yet, being able to fix errors whenever I find them.

Cheers to you people for this wonderful project.
Juan.
