Hello all, I just discovered OpenStreetMap.

Right now NYC coverage is non-existent with the exception of Broadway (which is interesting since it's the oldest street in NYC. It was modeled on the original footpaths the Native Americans used around 1500 A.D. or so).

One great thing about Manhattan is that its mostly a grid (with the exception of Wall Street and West Village), so rapid progress should be possible with Potlach. Tracing is fun!

I'm working on the Lower East Side of NYC, since that's where I live. I'm still getting the hang of the editor and options. Looks like I'll have to use JOSM to fix a misnamed way. Oops.

Comments welcome.
