[OSM-talk] Downloading Version 3 of all bus stops in a country

2017-09-26 Thread SwiftFast
I need to download all version 3 bus stops in a country which has about
30,000 bus stops. Version 3 exists since a 2012 import. What's the
recommended way to accomplish this? I have two ways in mind.

1. Fetch all stops with Overpass API, then, for each
   stop id, fetch version 3 from the main API.
   - Pros: I already know how to do that
   - Cons: Potentially too much load on the OSM server.
   Will I be rate-limited?
   Requires some script writing which could take
   more time than the way below.

2. Download a history-supporting planet file, 
   and extract the desired bus stops through Osmosis.
   - Pros: Less API load
   - Cons: I'm not sure what the proper Osmosis commands are,
   and if this  is a supported operation. Also, I need
   to download a big file (the oldest history supporting
   import is 40GB from 2013).

3. Other suggestions?

Why I need this:

I am creating a script[1] for incrementally updating GTFS imports.
It'll initially be used in Israel but it can be adopted worldwide. We
have an import from 2012 which was "dumped and forgotten" and is now
very stale. I want to forever fix this. 

The ministry of transportation publishes new GTFS files daily. My
script compares an older GTFS file with newer one, and only updates the
bus stops that were changed/added/deleted. The idea is to feed it a 
newer GTFS database daily or weekly. However, I do not possess the file
that was used in the 2012 import, so, in order to bootstrap the script,
I need to recreate that file from the old OSM data.

[OSM-talk] Place Tagging Overview Wiki page

2017-09-22 Thread SwiftFast
There are many places to tag places. (node, way, admin area,
landuse=residential, etc). This confuses me, and I assume it confuses
many others. We need a comprehensive summary covering all cases.

Here's a draft: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Place_tagging_overv
iew . It's likely inaccurate/incomplete. Please help me improve it.

[OSM-talk] Putting simple scripts in the Wiki without violating CC BY-SA 2.0

2017-09-18 Thread SwiftFast
I have a bot[1]. I'd like to publish its scripts. A versioning  system
like GIT would be overkill, because the scripts are short and rarely
changing.

I'm not a lawyer, and I have some questions:

1. Suppose I don't state any license, would that implicitly the same
license of the wiki itself?[2]

2. Can I explicitly state a license such as MIT/Apache/GPL? Would any
of those licenses conflict with the license of the Wiki itself?

Thanks!
