We have a micro mapping party proposed for this Saturday to the National Memorial Arboretum [1] at Alrewas, Staffs [2]. I'm now available so will be able to make it and I'll do a little planning this week to smooth the day. It would be handy to get an idea of numbers who are planning to come along

As I live in Lichfield I was hoping to attend but now can't. However, in the interests of boosting interest in and membership of OSM/Mappa Mercia would it be useful for me to post something on my hyperlocal site, Lichfield Live http://lichfieldlive.co.uk inviting people to join in? Phil On

Also, I'm not up on cycleway lane tagging, and on a section where there are lanes both sides, is cycleway:left=lane and cycleway:right=lane correct, as per merge tool suggestions? Also, the merge tool is showing a suggest of Lane with a capital letter, which I think should be lower case. Ed

www.streetmap.co.uk - one of the two first UK mapping sites (along with Multimap) - has started using OSM. Their 1:5k layer is now OSM-based outside London, where they still use A-Z. Custom cartography in quite an A-Z-like style! cheers Richard

I'd be tempted to convert the cycleway=lane into cycleway:left=lane and cycleway:right=lane anyway, since (if I understand it right), it's relatively easy to tag-transform it back again, for data users who can only use symmetrical stuff. The capital letter is wrong though. Richard On Mon, Jun
