Geo Join

cross-posted from http://myspew.com/projects/geo-join

Geo Join is a collaborative project to slice location resources into similar objects based on referenced similarities and then provide object orientated location aware meta data to be used to separate, expand, differentiate, or join these objects for any location based service output purposes.

The project website is located at:

http://trac.extracted.org/trac/wiki

Our first milestone is aimed at creating this project's operational and development structure.  If this project is of any interest to yourself, contact trac@trac.extracted.org for access to our Wiki and Ticket Systems contribution areas.

OpenStreetMap: Three Rivers Trail Addition

OpenStreetMap creates and provides free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. The project was started because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive, or unexpected ways.

I just finished and submitted a small addition to MadGeek's Three Rivers Trail cycleway. From what it looks like, he did get the majority of it mapped and I think it may be complete at this time, excluding small additions or corrections.

Wisconsin DNR Contact via Live Web Chat

Lostby7 posted an announcement on the Wisconsin Geocaching Association (WGA) website with an alternative way to contact, or ask a question, live from a Wisconsin DNR customer service representative on the web.  Here is the link:

Way to go DNR!  This makes asking simple questions about Wisconsin's natural resources and services just a click away.  Handy.
