The state of the map working group are delighted to announce that the call
for venues for 2016 is now open!
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org
I'm writing with a proposed extension to this mechanical edit: adjusting
the type and wood tags to current conventions.
It's easy to do and saves future changeset churn. I'm also adding
"denoation=historic" on certain trees, and
removing "denotation=cluster" from things like water towers.

To me it's almost undisputed that traffic signs - including warning
signs for cyclists - can be and are mapped.

Hi,
I have a problem with the usage values other yes in key building.
It seems to me that this any other usage of building=yes (for area
type) is almost purely redundant.
When looking at taginfo [1], building has following three top most key usages:
yes 119260798 85%
house 11592812 8%

Even if the API rejects very long ways the editor needs a little work to

Alex,
Our friends on the other side of the pond like to point out that we have
many poorly and unmapped areas. I'm sure we all agree that their assessment
is correct. Solving this problem should be one of our highest priorities.
Two solutions come to mind, increase the number of imports and growing
Bryce - that is a good point. When a note gets resolved, we have the ideal
opportunity to engage the casual contributor who is kind enough to leave a
note that is good enough for someone to act on. Unfortunately we cannot
(easily?) do that the way notes are set up right now. At Telenav we go

Ah, thanks. With the X I assumed that was closing the side panel, not

There's a "Close route" button at the top of the turn-by-turn directions -
click that and it'll clear the route.

Congratulations, there are now more than two million registered

Let's all survey pur neighbourhoods today and see how much we can improve.
Happy mapping.

Hi
With the addition of routing to the man page there's been a few cases of
adding ways in order to get routing to work. This is not the fault of
the people editing, but the routing software.
For example let's use parks. Both of the foot routers won't cross the
park unless there's a specific
