Re: [Talk-us] New to lists and would like to suggest some imports

I just took a cursory sample of a couple 'mostly useful to OSM' the Tennessee data, and me thinks their deployment isn't all that well thought out. The collection appears to be a mix of Open, public, licensed for certain uses, and joint licensing. For instance the Transportation / Roads has the

[Talk-us] [Imports-us] New to lists and would like to suggest some imports

I would add that the guidance of an OSM volunteer with some experience with importing can be quite helpful. It is easy to be eager to complete an import. It can be challenging, especially for novice mappers or those unexperienced with "medium-sized" projects like this to do one for the first

Re: [Talk-us] [Imports-us] New to lists and would like to suggest some imports

first things first. the import guidelines are here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines second, the licensing is critical. make absolutely sure that the state has a clear statement of public domain, CC0 or equivalent license. probably the most valuable import would be

Re: [Talk-us] New to lists and would like to suggest some imports

Would be nice to combine those building polygons with address data. If they don’t have any readily available it looks like http://results.openaddresses.io/ has collected a lot of address data for Tennessee. Could be a really big project to get the community behind. Might be fun. Joe From:

[Talk-us] New to lists and would like to suggest some imports

Greetings, I am new to the idea of discussing additions to OSM and like to do my best to follow best practices in suggesting an import. I am not sure were to start. I live in Tennessee USA. The State of Tennessee has posted a number of datasets without any license restrictions on this site

Re: [Talk-us] Leonia, NJ doesn't want you to navigate through

What most of us largely "know" (in this context, as we, myself included, posit both opinion and potential solutions) comes from a web-based news article. It isn't clear to me that a local ordinance has already passed specifying "something." Same with signs on-the-ground, speaking personally,

First, as they are public (not private) streets, anybody has the right to traverse them. Yes, a local ordinance might (in the near future) prohibit access for "cut-through," it is the right of the municipality to pass such an ordinance and for local police to enforce it. "We don't want the

I believe the affected streets would just need a conditional access tag, no? Something like: access:conditional=destination @ (06:00-10:00; 16:00-21:00) Thanks, Andrew On Jan 8, 2018 12:55 PM, "Jack Burke" wrote: I'll leave it to others to decide what, if anything, we

The NAIP dataset is valuable for mapping in the continental US, so I suspect there are more than a few people on this list who share my alarm at the leaked proposal to move it to a licensed model. My colleague Charlie just
