OpenStreetMap
I've just done my first bit of editing ever! Yay! Heard of OSM a year or two ago, but being at LugRadioLive '08 UK t'other weekend and then hearing someone from OSM chat about it on the Ubuntu-UK podcast, I was inspired. In particular by their mention of postvoxes. They never appear on any other maps, and I have done some part-time work for Post Office Ltd in a past life, so I'm taking it on myself to map all the ones I can find.
Firstly, between home (Balham/Tooting area, SW London) and work (the City, EC) on my daily cycle commute but I may go a little further afield/try to map others I remember from previous places I've lived at. May go some interesting routes/take minor detours to catch some others if I get bored on the regular path.

Cool! You can also add lots of other stuff along the way - telephone boxes and cycle parking stands are my two favourites beside postboxes.

Welcome aboard. Your quote made me chuckle, as I live in Balham, and the first update I added to the map was the postbox on my road

If adding postboxes can you include the reference number on the postbox? They look like "N1 157" and are entered like "ref=N1 157".
Thanks.
