Open Street Map

Open Street Map is a project to have an open source street map of the world created by users. View a Historic animation of their progress.

Clearly the past few months have seen the addition of official databases (especially the US Tiger file). It is interesting how similar this growth is to wikipedia, which was organic, until Rambot started posting official Census data, vastly increasing the US geographic coverage of the encyclopedia, and then resumed its organic pace.
