OpenStreetMap has shown that with teamwork and volunteer efforts, we can create something valuable from scratch. It's amazing how people from different backgrounds come together to improve mapping.
Fear and vanity can hold us back from trying new things. It's important to move beyond just thinking about ideas and actually take action to create something new.
Even if new projects don't succeed, it's okay to experiment. Many ideas might need to evolve or even be completely abandoned to find what really works.
