the coverage on /. has been absurdly high.
"they will announce something soon !"
"they will announce printable gun !"
"they will announce printable gun today !"
"THEY ANNOUNCE PRINTABLE GUN !"
"they actually reveal printable gun !"

is slashdot involved or just getting abused ? just a bit... too much.

+ - OpenStreetMap Launches a new easy to use HTML5 editor

Submitted by SWroclawski
SWroclawski writes "On the heels of the news that OpenStreetMap is allowing anonymous contributions with its "note" system, the project has launched a new in-browser editor called iD, which is not only easier to use, but written completely in Javascript, using the D3 library for rendering.
With all these improvements, OpenStreetMap is gaining popularity and has started a new http://donate.openstreetmap.org/server2013/donation campaign for additional hardware to support all the new contributors."

are you the one who created waze or just trolling ? :)
you can actually get all openstreetmap data. all of it. for free.
openstreetmap has much better coverage.

the only thing waze offers on top of osm is the mobile application... which would be great to see somebody build on top of osm, of course :)

as others have noted, but to make it perfectly clear...

waze is not using osm data.
waze is not contributing to osm data.
if you contribute to waze, it goes in a closed, proprietary database that you are not allowed to use (or even obtain).

with osm, you get all the resulting dataset for free to be used for any purpose.
