 The '''OpenStreetMap Wiki''' ('''OSM Wiki''') is a very active [[wiki]] supporting the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project.  The wiki has project {{tag|documentation}} for the main OpenStreetMap server software and also for the myriad of other {{tag|open source}} offerings in and around the project, and branching out to document many geo-technologies in general (but mainly from an OpenStreetMap perspective).
-OpenStreetMap itself is a project to do with {{tag|maps}}, but interestingly it is applying [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] principles to map making.  Contributors can view the map and then move across to the edit tab and edit the map!  The OSM project is modelled on [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], and like Wikipedia, is overseen by a [[:Category:Nonprofit|not-for-profit]] foundation, and releases all of this map data with an open license; namely the {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 license}} (CC BY-SA 2.0).  With over 300,000 registered users, it's a very active community of map makers.
+OpenStreetMap itself is a project to do with {{tag|maps}}, but interestingly it is applying [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] principles to map making. You can consider it essentially one big wiki with a single document—a map of the world. Contributors can view the map and then move across to the edit tab and edit the map!  The OSM project is modelled on [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], and like Wikipedia, is overseen by a [[:Category:Nonprofit|not-for-profit]] foundation, and releases all of this map data with an open license; namely the {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 license}} (CC BY-SA 2.0).  With over 300,000 registered users, it's a very active community of map makers.
 The map itself has special information about wheelchair ramp accessibility and {{tag|bicycling}} lanes and pathways.
