Hi Folks,
I’m a newcomer to the OSM project with a couple of questions.
BACKGROUND:
I recently traced and added the streets of my village and surrounding
areas to OSM (Bowen Mountain NSW).

Hello again talk-au,
I'm new to editing in the OSM project and before I start making
significant changes to another's work, I thought I should check with
people more experienced with the project to make sure I'm correct.
Background:
I was having a look at my local area with Keepright and

Hi Delta, thanks for the reply.
Because they aren't joined is exactly the reason they should show in
Keepright IMO, although I take your point about false postives with
service roads etc.

Hi Folks,
Quick question about roundabouts. (junction=roundabout)
Originally, I didn't name roundabout junctions, but when I validate my
work in JOSM, it identifies them as 'Unnamed Ways' in the warnings section.
I've tried naming a few using the name of the primary road that connects
with
Thanks everyone for your input regarding roundabouts and under what
circumstances to tag them with a name=*
Whilst some opinions differ, I'd suggest that the majority of people who
have responded to my post name roundabout junctions only when the
roundabout has an official name (not the name

.using the validator plugin
Hi John,
I originally loaded the Validator plugin using the JOSM interface and
then I enabled it in the plugins menu.
I use it to check all of the data I download, usually before I start
editing and then again before I upload my work.

I hope you will share such valuable information should you happen upon a
method! .. those roundabout false-positives drive me nuts !!
That aside, I find the JOSM Validator

Forgot to ask, is there any more situations that isn't validly shown up as a

The ABS boundary data import throws up a LOT of warnings and information
notes in JOSM validator. Some might simply ignore

It looks like the validator plugin uses the presets to match against, however
I'm starting to agree that these shouldn't be presets but they shouldn't be

I'll see if I can hack something together as a general ignore list, even if

Good job John, that version of the validator.jar clears all of the ABS

Also why did the bulk import vary from what everyone else is doing?
The 'addr:postcode' key is in the presets because it's the recommended

I'm not sure that I understand?
You're probably aware that the 'place' key is used for countries,
states, cities, towns, villages, suburbs etc

Yes, there seems to be a couple of cultural/language/country differences I'm haggling over in the bug list that may need some extra input from others, such as naming junction=roundabouts.
