Not yet! It's next on the list. But you can load a GPX from somewhere on

Great work Richard. But it still needs lots of improvement to compete with
Potlatch 1 (I know, I know, It is still in Public Alpha).
Will there be a permanent website for the soon to be legacy version (1.4)?
Will this new version stay in geowiki.com or will replace 1.4 in the Edit

I have the ContourHD, and while it's a fantastic sports cam, it's not close
enough to usable for reading street signs from just one street-width away.

Recently I've found several examples of nodes shared between two

The question is: Is this okay?
If the objects were routable (eg roads), then the answer would be
obvious, but these ways are things like buildings and parking lots,

I see a case for and against them. Since they're not routable, I don't

shared between two objects, and so why use extra nodes if they're not

Does anyone encounter errors loading Yahoo-Images in Potlatch?
http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=39.111598&lon=-94.712041&zoom=19
More and more often some tiles take longer to load and endup in the
error-image ("We're sorry, the data you have requested...refresh your
browser to try again.").
There are a couple people. I'm representing the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap
Team at the NGO round table part. There are also people who wear multiple
hats going as well. For example some of the Sahana guys also contribute to
OSM.

I've been using the operator tag for library branches (where name is
the branch name, and operator is the library system). Same could be
done with schools within a school district. Does this seem like a
reasonable use for the operator tag?

This is an argument over the use of english as a language and tags
that look like english words and how people interrupt them.

If you look at the history of the page this change was made on the

The usage of "operator" documented in the wiki is the opposite of the standard
usage, at least in the food service business (I once worked for a food broker).
The standard usage would be to say that a restaurant's name is "Smithville

The confusion has probably come about from usage on ATMs then being
There is a "franchise" tag listed on the wiki. It is a proposed tag, not yet
voted on. So, the name tag would have the name of this location of the
business, the franchise tag (if present) would have the name of the chain, and
operator would have the name of the company or individual operating

Hmm, good to know. What if you're below the sign and looking up?

So, if we continue to use "operator" to mean "chain or franchise", then what
tag do you propose should hold the name of the individual or company who
operates the business, and who is referred to in non-OSM terminology as the
operator?
