ps, I calculate that about 100 man hours of work is enough to rectify the OSM map of Mumbai - and am willing to contribute some of that if others are coming forward.
I am unable to gauge the effort required and hence might not be able to comment here. If you have a plan on this activity why not start it and people would slowly join once it starts taking shape.
I would help - if I could get my Freerunner to work at all.
btw, they should release the package for Openmoko as well. Why use Symbian and lock-me-in Nokia to help the FOSS world?
The software on the handheld/phone uses OSM with an option of Google. Our current concern, with the limited resources, was to provide Traffic Information. If OSM can support the purpose, I would have loved to use that instead of anything else. But the priority was roadjams. Since Google does not prohibit the information flow from their map for the initiative, it served our purpose very much.
