Hi Rod,
Was planning on continuing to use github.
Does the job, surely.
Haven't use transifex before, not sure the volume of usage would
justify using it, and it seems to be fee-based.
I'm not certain transifex charges fees, but you are right: since the
tree is not that big, and contained in a single file (do I get it
right?) there's no need to go transifex, really.
It is updated manually. When there is something new I learn about and
I think should be in there or when someone suggest something, I add an
entry to the json file, upload that and the tree integrates it
automatically. So the only thing that needs to be maintained is the
json file.
I had thought about building something that would go through the osm
wiki, parse that, build a json file on the fly so the tree is always
automatically up to date and is a "pure" mirror of the wiki but:
1) it's beyond my current coding capabilities...
2) (and most importantly) I'm not sure that's feasible in a way that
wouldn't be confusing. It would render into a tree with hundreds (or
more) of nodes which I think would be harder to use and understand.
Right, and the way you do it includes a manual check. This way you would
more likely find inconsistencies (than a parser or other automated
process would).
License is cc-by-sa indeed. Feel free to use it and modify it if you want.
Feedback, comments, suggestions, critiques and of course contribution
are more than welcome.
Thanks
Chris
and thank you for your initiative
Rod
