Re: [talk-au] Importing 200 emergency markers?

Hi, The markers were installed by the railway, and are maintained by the railway. They are pole numbers attached to each telegraph pole along the railway. To help emergency services locate points along the railway Puffing Billy provided their location to ESTA with the "PBM" prefix. As the

Hi This subject was discussed in October. The dataset they are sharing is likely to be https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/esta-emergency-markers/resource/44add10f-a478-4ab0-a6fa-227493663b28 and it was determined that we do not have the right licence to use this data. I say likely to be the same

Are these emergency markers created and maintained by the Puffing Billy Railway? If not they might be sharing a dataset with you that they don't have permission to share for this purpose? Adam On Fri, 26 Nov 2021 at 16:24, wrote: > Maybe just create a simple page on the wiki describing what

Maybe just create a simple page on the wiki describing what you intent to do along with a link to information about the received permission? Just to make it easier to find in the future if there are any concerns. From: Andrew Harvey Sent: Friday, 26 November 2021 13:46 To: Kim Oldfield

That sounds fine to me, this email consulting with the community, informing of your plan and what steps you've taken is enough in my opinion. I would ask if you could share more information about the permission you obtained? So long as you have sufficient rights to submit the data under the OSM

Re: [talk-au] Unconnected ways

I've seen the solution Warin notes here in USA, too. "Walk along the beach" (somewhat lengthily) yet the tide removes all the sandy footprints of any implicit or explicit "trail." It's a route, though one that is invisible upon the ground. But not among people who say "yep, mate, I'm walking

I'm mixed in this reply and not quite able to invest the time right now on the necessary research to revert. On the one hand, the changeset is 3 months old and that's plenty of time for a snarl to result from revert, because of temporal drift. On the other hand, the geographical area is

Re: [talk-au] Use of macrons in name:en

Similar to the case with New Zealand, I would support the use of macrons if they are either official or used on-the-ground in terms of signage etc. Regardless, having a namespace tag for English and Pitjantjatjara is definitely a good idea. On Wed, 24 Nov 2021 at 04:32, Andrew Harvey wrote: >
