Hi. I wanted to discuss the use of the acronym "HOSM".
It seems to me it sounds way too similar to the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap team, which is very well-established and recognised in the community. We should not confuse identities. I would prefer if we used "OHM" as in Open Historical Map, similar to projects like OpenCycleMap, etc. We have also registered this as the domain openhistoricalmap.net/.org. Also as a historian we rarely use the adjective "historic" and prefer the term "historical". Since the list and tag-line is already this I don't mind, but "HOSM" is not distinct enough. Thoughts?
