Hey, you never know how big the project is going to be. This reminds me 
of another one that began with a humble announcement (see 
http://liw.fi/linux20/).

Back on topic: Should we have some sort of a bug tracking system? Even a 
list of the important bugs would do. When a bug is fixed, it would be 
moved to another list that specifies the svn revision of the fix. There 
are bug tracking systems, such as Trac and Mantis, but running those 
might be more trouble than it is worth. After all, mkgmap is of more 
manageable size than JOSM, for example.
