[talk-au] Wikifiddling
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tips_especially_for_Aussies has been marked by (a nonAussie) This page has been suggested for clean-up. Please Discuss. that was dated 02/10/09 It was my first rearrangement of the wiki there is a claim on the 'discuss' link that many of them are not entirely correct this might be because things are outdated some of our pages have been subsumed into other wiki pages and then a redirect put on, so the Aussie page on why to use Yahoo, and why to use Landsat has been replaced with a page about making your own photos and mentioning the Gaza strip I think that we need to put our stuff on our own wiki. What does the owner of openstreetmap.com.au think of copying our Aussie wiki pages elsewhere so that writing intended for Australian readers is not removed in favour of internationalised stuff? ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

That is, from any approach, you can turn left or right. For most vehicles, the roundabout is not big enough to go back the way you came (180 degrees). 360 degrees just being picky No, 180 degrees. If a vehicle makes a 360 degree turn, it continues on its original direction.

I've looked through some of it and corrected some that was easy to fix while changing mini roundabouts. However the Charlie Sheen garbage appears to be all in one changeset and all the area is covered by nearmap so should be easy to check if the roads do exist. -- Cheers Ross ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
