This document summarizes Ilya Zverev's presentation at State of the Map 2013 about the evolution of OpenStreetMap. It discusses how OSM has transitioned from the initial focus on adding data through tracing imagery to now needing tools to manage the large amount of data and focus on improving data quality. Specific updates mentioned include the iD editor, CartoCSS styling, osm.org redesign, more servers, moving to ODbL licensing, and goals of getting more users and data for 2013. The document advocates for better surveying and maintenance tools to help OSM progress from acceptable to perfect data.
