Well I'm not sure who added it to the openstreetmap organisation. I'm an 
admin for the organisation but I've never even heard of it. i suspect it 
has been there for a long time.


In a literal sense I could given you access, but I would want the 
current owners (whoever they might be) to approve that before I did so, 
so you should probabyl start by trying to contact them.


It looks like https://github.com/podolsir is the only person with access 
to that repo (other than the org admins) so that is probably the best 
person to contact in the first instance.

Re: [OSM-dev] GSoc 2015 Queries

[Martin Raifer]

Dear Nikhil,

> Learning platform for Overpass API

The primary goal of this project is to make it easier for newcomers to
learn and use the Overpass API for querying OSM data. This includes
well structured documentation, guidelines, tutorials, learning
courses, etc. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you as a
potential gsoc student also have to create all the content for such a
platform, too.
We are still quite early in this year's gsoc process, so there's no
need to hustle, I would say. I'd appreciate if you could take yourself
a few minutes and think about how such a platform could help you (as a
beginner, but not only) better understand the overpass query language.

Best regards,
Martin

[OSM-dev] GitHub repositories

[Jakob Jarosch]

Hi there,
I'm one of the original developers of the OSMembrane GUI tool for osmosis.
It hadn't a real maintenance but looks like the source code is now on
GitHub. I would like to give OSMembrane another try and update the GitHub
repository with the latest build and a README. Is there anyone who can give
me access to that repository so I can add a release?

[OSM-dev] GSOC 2015 Introduction

[Arjun Krishna]

Hello Everyone,
 Hey, I was going through the ideas  for GSOC '15 and the Learning
platform for Overpass API really caught my eye. I have some experience
in web-development mostly Django and some Javascript and some of it's
brilliant libraries along with the usual HTML,CSS .
I had some ideas on how this can be implemented, here they go.

The idea for teh learning platform mentioned something like codeacademy.
The process of learning in code academy involves this
1.You signup for a course and find a bunch of chapters in that course.
2.You can go chapter by chapter or skip to the chapter you want.
3.Then they teach you a little by showing an example and a few
lines explaining it or just the explanation.
4.Then you have to solve a problem , they check if you solved it
by looking at your output (console logs in javascript)
5.You move on to other chapters.
   Code academy is great if you want to learn something from top to
bottom, however if you just want to get a small doubt cleared
codeacademy is not the place.
   I think this is where something like w3schools comes in, they're
great to use when you have to just clear up a small detail about
javascript or something else.
   One of the major differences between codeacademy and w3schools is
that w3schools does not validate your answer, there is no problem to
solve in w3schools just examples. In code academy there are mostly
problems to solve.
   Many users may want to start from scratch to learn the overpass api
and many of them may just want to clear a small doubt up.
   I suggest that something like w3schools but also with dedicated
courses like codeacademy would be great(Best of both worlds).
   Coming towards coding up such a platform one of the main questions
is whether to use overpass turbo or not.
   Overpass turbo is great for building queries and running them ,
however testing the output obtained in order to ensure that the user
solved the problemmight be hard(Or atleast thats what I think ,
not too sure, have been thinking of ways to  use it and develop over
it)
   I suggest that  overpass turbo be used when just examples have to
be showcased and use the platform and leafleft.js(To show the output)
when problems are being solved.

   PS: Here's something that I started writing just to familiarize
myself with leaflet.js [http://hastebin.com/exegisukef.xml] , I was
just trying to show the query results on a map(I know it's ugly ,
excuse the looks please and it works only for nodes now).

[OSM-dev] GSoC 15 - Introduction

[Akanksha Srivastava]

Hello, I am Akanksha a 2nd Year Computer Science And Engineering Student
from IIIT Hyderabad India.
I am interested in applying for GSoC 15. I looked through the project ideas
page and found the following ideas suited to my interests and skills.
1)* Web application for sharing 3D-Models to use in OSM-related
3D-Applications *- Requires development of a web application. I am well
versed in Ruby on Rails therefore I would like to develop this application
in that technology. However if a lighter web application is required then I
can develop in any Python based web framework like flask or bottles.
2)*Learning platform for Overpass API:* Documentation and easy to follow
tutorials are required to learn any new piece of technology and it would be
very stimulating for me to learn the Overpass API myself and as then
document my experience as a beginner to make it easier for future users. I
am well versed with Javascript and HTML.
3) *Moderation Queue for osm.org : *I have prior experience
in Ruby on Rails so I would be very interested in developing a web
extension for the osm website.

I request the mentors to guide me on how to get started to contributing to
the project.

[OSM-dev] GSoC 2015 Applicant Introduction and Queries

[Divyanshu Maithani]

Greetings OSM developers,

I'm Divyanshu Maithani, a third year student pursuing Computer Science and
Engineering from National Institute of Technology(NIT), Hamirpur, India.
I'm quite passionate about open source technologies and I've been using
OSMs for quite some time. I'm also a member of GNU Linux User Group of our
college and an active open source contributor. I would like to participate
with OSM for GSoC 2015.

I'm well versed in Python, CoffeeScript, JavaScript, C, C++ and interested
in the following projects:
1. OSM Anomaly Detection
2. Learning platform for Overpass AP

I've already started getting familiarized with OSM by improving the map in
my local areas. It would be great if someone could guide me on how to
proceed next and start contributing some more to strengthen my proposal and
getting more involved with OSM.

Thanking you in anticipation

Divyanshu Maithani,
3rd Year, Computer Science and Engineering,
