Ordnance Survey consultation
I’ve finally finished my response to the consultation on Ordnance Survey data. It’s here (five-page PDF, 64k).
The tl;dr* version:
Generally good. Don’t release 1:25k and 1:50k rasters, that’s just gratuitous and we don’t need them. Provide an aerial photography API for rights-free tracing. Use PD or a database rights-aware licence, not CC-BY. kthxbye
* link almost certainly Not Suitable For Work, or indeed anywhere else

Hello Richard,
I’m looking for a previous editor of Gesta Asnacorum…I hope I’ve found the right person here! I was told that a ‘Richard Fairhurst (1992)’ managed to compile the wonderful Historia Asnacorum. I am the former Gesta editor currently in possession of the material for the (five years late) De Excidio Asnacorum. I’ve had many requests for a re-run of Historias and I’d also love to know how to get De Excidio off the ground. I’d appreciate some advice if you’d be willing to help me out.
Many thanks (and if I’ve got the wrong person, many apologies! Please ignore…)
