The point is, is there somebody who has that sort of expertise and be
willing to give his/her time to a project. Also if people from college
take it up it would be much more doable. It would also enable
distribution of the said knowledge.

Having more people learning about osm would be a good thing IMHO.

Secondly, pune metro regularly does what it says metro samvaad where
they are open to people who come up with suggestions as well as
concrete implementation details.

The most recent samvaad they held was in MIT just few days ago -

https://twitter.com/metrorailpune/status/978270832106467328

The possibility of the buy-in should be high as they already advertise
the on-going work on their twitter feed
https://twitter.com/metrorailpune and most 10k phones already have the
GPS sensor built-in.  Even the raw data for web-gis should also be in
public domain as they did make a DPR which was approved by the center.
Whoever takes the photo already might be uploading to some
semi-automated upload or web api hook to post for the twitter feed.
They might just be downscaling the picture and removing the GPS
locator info. although twitter also does remove GPS location details
for privacy concerns IIRC.

As far as I understand it, there is a team in Nagpur which does all
the front-end and back-end web development work but haven't heard
anything from them till date.

https://twitter.com/metrorailpune/status/979744773622788096

http://punemetrorail.org/download/PuneMetro-DPR.pdf

It is a pretty detailed report but then the DPR was made by Delhi
Metro Rail so was perhaps expected to be thorough. I was not able to
see if they had shared any GPS coords though.

[slightly OT]

AFAIK Pune Metro has been trying to keep sanctity of the DPR as far as
the route is concerned. In fact, in one of the threads on the twitter
feed I read about one of the places where the foundation for the
pillar was not the usual hard rock they have been lucky to find in
most of the places and they dumped whole lot of cement and other
expensive strengthening material before the pillar would be erected.
AFAIK the pillars are supposed to be strong enough to take the whole
load of the metro cars, driver cabin consist but then I'm no civil
engineer :)

Hi shirish,

I'm not quite sure, on exactly what you are suggesting. Making the
Application is not that difficult. It may be a few hours work for someone
who is used to the libraries and web-gis development. The hard part is
keeping it updated. If we have buy-in from Pune Metrorail, and figure out
how they will update it, then we can proceed accordingly.

Regards,
Devdatta

[datameet] Regarding landuse 'maps' of bangalore

[Deepa Mohare]

Hi all!
I'm looking for land-use maps of Bangalore that were out over the last 20 years.
The only one available now is the 2015 one.
Information on this would be greatly helpful. 

Thanks.
