OpenStreetMap
We had another mapping party in Vientiane with interested users from the Laozaa community. It was mainly about how to add and edit data e.g. how to add Lao names to existing nodes and ways. Potlatch and JOSM have been introduced (although unfortunately Potlatch can't display Lao words properly).
Just one impression:

I hope you had fun with your mapping party.
It is great to see the translation of the map into more language as it nicely shows the diversity of the OSM community. In case you hadn't seen it already, it is actually currently " Project of the week " to try and improve translations as much as possible. It is a shame though that Lao doesn't work in Potlatch. It may be worth filing a bug about it in trac in case it isn't a bug in Flash.
I see that neither the website, potlatch nor josm currently seem to be translated into Lao and it might be fun and helpful to translate some of it at translatewiki.net for the osm website potlatch and launchpad for josm.

Thanks a lot for your hints!
I'll have to take a closer look since it is necessary to focus the limited capacities wisely.
