Project ideas

In the future we will announce some ideas or projects that we would like to achieve... we have to start at least getting the ideas out there, later on if we can make them is another story.

• OSM-Postal: It is all about taking OSM to the masses, for all of those out there without an internet connection, or those who can not contribute using the traditional way. It is based in the Waking-Papers principle.
