Hi aharvey,

I'm interested to record taxonomic and habitat infomation too. I would suggest looking at this page taxon=*

I would record taxon:35%=Ganzania rigens . Useful to remember that percentage cover can add up to over 100% because there are multiple layers/canopies within a habitat. Another method which is common, DAFOR (Dominant, Abundant, Frequent, Occasional, Rare) which is often quicker to record and less need for a meter square or measuring an area. taxon:D=Ganzia rigens

I've been working on a wiki for recording habitats (bare bones at the moment) osm.wiki/Habitat

Hi Bob, one more link we discussed for keeping an eye on your favourite areas:

It was a good night, 9 people in attendance and four new faces.

Good work! I have an OSM surveyor hi-viz jacket too. I think the jacket improves your mapping ability by at least 25% :-) but for clarification, you don't need one to start mapping!

Can't wait!

I like your map painting btw! I used a program called Kosmos osm.wiki/Kosmos for rendering one off maps, should also be able to add your own custom icons too. There is a newer version called Maperitive but I haven't tried that yet.

Great idea, I think it would be nice to have a bit of positive feedback like badges and cups etcs.

good luck with a second life map - always thought it would be best to project in a 3D globe using Marble. second life is very 'flat earth' at the moment.

done 11400 and 24200!
