Land einzeichnen? Kein Bedarf? Grundsätzlich sollte es in einem
industrialisierten, (weitgehend) zivilisierten Land mit großer
Bevölkerungszahl doch möglich sein, dass die ihr Land selber mappen?


Ich glaube google erfreut sich da einfache sehr großer beliebtheit wo 
hier der eine oder andere doch etwas skeptisch ist. Zeigt sich auch in

die meisten dort sich gefragt haben Warum nehmen die nicht einfach

fire_hydrant:position=street = fire_hydrant:position=lane

[OSM-talk] Wiki: Adblock blocks Wikimedia Commons images

2015-06-14 Thread Andreas Goss
I was pretty annoyed recently, because every now and then a wikimedia 
image I used in a ValueTemplate would not work.


For some reason I decided to check Privacy Badger today and after that 
disable Adblock.  Well, that did the job. Not sure if we can do 
anything, but for people who frequently edit the wiki, maybe just 
whilelist the domain so you don't waste yout time trying to figure out 
why images are not working.


Not really sure why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't so far...

[OSM-talk] Creative Commons is making a mobile app

2015-06-12 Thread Andreas Goss
Today we’re pushing the latest beta release of our mobile app, The List 
powered by Creative Commons. It’s a mobile photography app that invites 
users to create a list of images they want, or submit photos to help a 
person or group who created a list. Every image is uploaded to the 
archive with a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) licence, allowing 
anyone to use the images so long as they give proper credit to the author.

Is there any way this could be used for OpenStreetMap?

Looking at the license it doesn't seem to be possible to just use them 
to get information, right? But do you think it will be possible to maybe 
have a list what they call it that would give such a permission?

natural=water + water=* erlaubt generell auch das undifferenzierte
Tagging von Wasserflächen, was auch in über 90 Prozent der Fälle so
gemacht wird - siehe

http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/natural=water#combinations


Wenn der top tag schon source=* ist, dann kann man eigentlich fast schon 
davon ausgehen, dass da ein Haufen Importe drin sind wo einfach nur 
natural=water für alles hergenommen wurde.

Zudem vermute ich ist da auch ein haufen tagging für den Renderer drin.

Re: [OSM-talk] contact: tags

2015-05-06 Thread Andreas Goss

the verbosity may be unneeded for very simple things like phone
but is that true for everything covered by contact* ?
key:fax? key:twitter? key:vhf?

So what would you do with those tags?


If we don't use contact for phone, it makes no sense at all to use it 
for something like social media etc.


In addition I think if the emphasis on contact was really that you can 
actually contact someone (contact:phone) then contact:twitter is also 
flat out wrong, because many companies will not reply and maybe not even 
read what you tweet them.

I think http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/POI:McDonald%27s is overkill
however.  And long term chances are

Agree, something like this with a more organized overview would be better:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_Retail_Chains

And those individual pages also are not like Map Features.


The main problem with all these pages is that if something is updated or

[OSM-talk] Different HOT Domains without redirect...

2015-04-28 Thread Andreas Goss
I already wrote on the HOT mailinglist, but because the focus there is 
obviously somewhere else I thought I'd mention it here, too.


So I just realized that the same website has 3 or maybe even more URLs.

- http://hot.osm.org/
- http://hot.openstreetmap.org/
- http://hotosm.org/

While it looks like someone fixed the issue that some pages were not up 
do date, it's still pretty bad for search engines. I also just realized 
that there are no www. versions, except for www.hotosm.org, but that 
should also redirect (needs a seperate one I think)


In my opinion it would be best if all URL had a 301 redirect to 
http://www.hot.openstreetmap.org/

Re: [OSM-talk] Different HOT Domains without redirect...

2015-04-28 Thread Andreas Goss

Not going to happen. We don't add random www. prefixes to any of our
other sites, other than the main site. Arguably we should drop it there.


Why is that random? Try any other larger website and you will find that 
they all have redirects for all subdomains and all go to the domain with 
or without www.


So you think it's okay that http://www.hot.openstreetmap.org/ or 
http://www.wiki.openstreetmap.org/ are just dead links?


I mean I never done it myself, but isn't it like just 1-3 short lines in 
the .htaccess file?


And how many used xxx.opesntreetmap.org pages do we actually have? blog, 
forum and help are the only ones I can think of



I believe hotosm.org is the canonical domain anyway, we just provide
hot.openstreetmap.org as an alias for convenience.


I can't find any canonical links and they should be in the source code, 
right?


And while it might be convenient, it's really bad for search engines. I 
mean wouldn't it be kinda nice if people when looking for earthquake 
map nepal or whatever might get a HOT page listed as a top result?

Ich würde eher einen neuen tag einführen, der dann wirklich alles umfasst
das man damit taggen will, oder einen oder mehrere weitere tags um das
abzudecken, was zwar irgendwie öffentlich und ohne Personal Dinge oder
Services verteilt, dafür aber keine Bezahlung erfordert.


Hatten wir das nicht auf Tagging damals mit den Post Dingern schon 
diskutiert? Damals gabe es soweit ich mich erinnere keinen Vorschlag bei 
den ich gesagt hätte ja super passt. Ich wäre auch dafür 
vending_machiene durch einen größeren Überbegriff zu ersetzten, dann 
braucht man da nicht jedes mal zu diskutieren. Automat was ich finde am 
ehesten hinkommt gibt es im Englischen so wohl nicht.



Gemeinsamkeiten kann man immer finden, entscheidend ist doch, dass die von
uns geforderten Kriterien für den tag hier nicht eingehalten werden (aus
dem Wiki: A vending machine is a machine which dispenses items such as
snacks, beverages, alcohol, cigarettes, lottery tickets, cologne, consumer
products and even gold and gems to customers automatically, after the
customer inserts currency or credit into the machine.).


Naja dann muss man wohl eher das diskutieren, weil das ist Wikipeda CP. 
Vorher war da der Text aus dem proposal:


Vending machines do appear more and more in very different kinds. As 
they are increasingly a part of everybody’s life, there is also a need 
to bring them on maps or in to routing devices. In most cases there 
should also be given a hint to the type of goods the machine offers.

As an aside I'd guess, based on the tag-changing changesets that I see
in the history list locally, that between 30-50% of them are
problematical in some way:

o Sometimes what was tagged originally was nonsensical, and the correct
response should be clearly that makes no sense; I need to resurvey it
rather than let me just change the tags to something that looks valid

o Sometimes some non-standard tag is removed because the person
editing remotely simply does not understand the concept that the
original mapper was trying to get across.  It might very well be that
there _isn't_ an appropriate tag in wide use in OSM right now; but
removing the original mappers tag is not the right thing to do.

o Sometimes the person changing the tags is acting in good faith based
on external QA such as the JOSM validator*, or the OSM wiki. An example
would be the assumption that the wiki that coniferous was synonymous
with not deciduous.

So to answer the original question, I think that most mappers _would_
give a second thought to an obvious tag change.  It doesn't mean that
they wouldn't change hihgway=footway to highway=footway, but it does
mean that they'd have a look at see if it really did look like a footway
first.

Cheers,

Andy


* and it's worth mentioning here that every time I've raised a validator

And how many mappers would actually bother to check something if they 
spot it? I think a huge majority would just change ToiletS to toilets, 
so I doubt a bot would be much worse.


At least it would encourage me to work on that key overview, because 
after 10min last week I gave up, because it was so annoying to see and 
fix all those capital letters.



A case fix is perfectly safe, except when it's not.

A crummy import may have brought ToiletS=yes.
But it might not mean the same thing as toilets=yes.

On occasion there will be a Tag=foo and tag=fum the same object.

[Talk-GB] Is a saddlery limited to horses? (BE English)

2015-03-08 Thread Andreas Goss

Just having a discussion here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:craft%3Dsaddler

In German you also often find something like a Autosattlerei which 
means car-saddlery (usually doing car seats). Does the word not have the 
same meaning in English? In German there always seems to be a bit of a 
overlapp with upholsterer and saddler, it seems like this isn't the case 
in English so saddler should really be limited to horses, is that correct?

Bref une nouvelle relation encore peu utilisée veut remplacer une
relation ancienne; sans réel changement fonctionnel.


If google translate got this right... no we don't want to replace it

Maybe you in France have access to government data, but we in Germany 
mostly don't and many countries neither, in some places maybe not even 
the government has it.


And then those relations just make everything more complicated, lack 
members or mappers break them by accident. I just started cleaning up 
them and that already got rid of most of them, because they were 
utterly incomplete. Why should I support and keep a tagging schema when 
all over Bavaria maybe 5 areas have a dozen complete (associated)Street

Re: [OSM-talk] Change: How mature is OpenStreetMap?

2015-01-06 Thread Andreas Goss

* People are making discussions that come to no conclusion, this is so
notorious.


I guess one of the main reasons is that you often don't have to come to 
a conclusion. There is no pressue. If there is no agreement everybody 
just keeps tagging like before. I have this with fitness centre/gym now 
again. A few replies and then nobody cares.
(compared to Wikipedia, where in the end you actually want to write 
something on the page, so you have to agree on something and can't just 
mash everything on a page)



(compare with Wikipedia)


I think the main difference is that most of the Wikipedia stuff is 
discussed on Wikipedia. Meanwhile the OSM database is seperated from the 
Wiki. In addition mailinglists and Forums are used by a lot more people 
than talk: pages.


I keep preaching it over and over again, but unfortunately very few 
people are willing to invest time into the Wiki. It's just so sad when 
you look on TagInfo and see how many tags lack a documentation.

Re: [OSM-talk] New building colour

IMHO it is much better - on low zoom levels maps is now less cluttered
and on high zoom levels POIs are now more visible.

Honestly I love this simple grey for buildings. I think they are visible 
enough, but don't stick out too much. Which in my opinion is exactly how 
it is supposed to be as buildings of course should be visible, but 
aren't as important as other POIs or landmarks.


Now I look at my village and the village square and various POIs really 
pop out and nothing gets lost. Even streets and other landuses seem to 
stand out more.

even used 5 times (one has no occurence at all). These are at best
proposals but shouldn't be in a Key:-Definition page.


And with contact:facebook, contact:twitter etc. you have a similar 
issue, because not every company uses it that way. Some might just have 
a page and post stuff, but never reply or read anything.

Re: [OSM-talk] Wiki - contact: Tag Map Features

2014-12-19 Thread Andreas Goss

In one go, there's this: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=contact


I still don't see when that is that usefull. I mean yeah it's nice to 
see which tags people use, but that could just be documented in the 
Wiki. When editing POIs then when a POI has contact information that 
usually makes up the majority of the tags anyway so contact: sorting 
helps little here (just look at the average store or restaurant). I 
actually find it easier to just look at the first letter of a tag to 
find it than to look at the letter after contact: Not to mention that 
it's much nicer for autocomplete.


I kida doubt someone will make an app and then just filter for 
contact:* Would you really want to list fax these days? Or 10x social 
media websites and not filter for the 2-3 common ones? Don't you want to 
format the address nicely? At that point it seems to be like you already 
have to look at each individual key anyway.

[OSM-talk] Wiki - contact: Tag Map Features

2014-12-18 Thread Andreas Goss

Thought I'd post this here too, because it's a bit more than just tagging.

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Honestly the people supporting this contact: tag are annoying me more 
and more.

They try to push that tag everywhere even when the tag without the
prefix is used 10x more. The try to make the Wiki page sound like they
are still present more often in the database. Put it on the MapFeatures
Page. On shop/craft Wiki pages they try to push it as supplementary
tags. Another guy does a mass edit for all social media tags and puts
the contact: prefix in front of it (still not sure all facebook tags
have been reverted).

Is there any solution to this? It's really no fun when I come back to
edit a Wiki again and see that it happened again. Especially this
replacing and not even trying to give the user a choice.

  Not only that. Why do you want to remove tags that are in widespread use in 
OSM? Xxzme (talk) 15:27, 4 December 2014 (UTC)



  Because this page should list only major OSM features in widespread use.



  It is not written anywhere. This is only your subjective opinion about how big 
Map Features should be.
  You are trying to enforce your opinion about how wiki should look like. 
Instead of single view enforced by single user, users should compare multiple approaches 
and pick one for them. Do not remove valid information. Xxzme (talk) 10:39, 5 December 
2014 (UTC)


Picked out this Quote, there is a lot more to read. I completely agree
with the view that MapFeatures really is just for major features or at
least for tags where there is no disagreement. Something that's not
clear should not be there. And especially a tag or whole template that's 
used far less than a equivalent tag should not be there.

Re: [OSM-talk] Wiki - contact: Tag Map Features

2014-12-18 Thread Andreas Goss

This is the ad populum fallacy. Any attempt to improve a tagging scheme
will always start out being numerically weaker regardless of the merit
of the proposal. To further confuse things there are people like myself
who will sometimes tag *both* schemes because although we see the need
for change we understand that there is a lot invested in the existing
scheme.


But then they should make a proposal, discuss it and have a vote. 
Especially if a tag is that important for them. But somehow just trying 
to push it will get you nowhere.


I mean it maybe works with tags that aren't used that often or when a 
new key was introduced like emergency=* which might fit better than amenity.



I'm not saying that established convention is not important, just that
raw numbers shouldn't be the be-all and end-all when it comes to
tagging.


But raw numbers are still a main factor. We just need some rules when it 
comes to the wiki. We can't have anybody putting his tagging ideas there.



What about creating a single wiki page that describes both schemes and
provides a brief description of the pros and cons of each one? Once
this is done other wiki pages can link to it and mappers can decide for
themselves which is the most appropriate.


Well, it's kinda what contact does. 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:contact


Problem is also that the tags are often put on other pages as 
usefull/suggested combination and you don't want to have everything 2x 
there.

Of course they can, otherwise the wiki ceases to be a description of the
tags used in the database and starts becoming the aspirations of a
clique of wiki-fiddlers.


So if i think Tag:amenity=place_of_worship should be leisure=* then I 
should just it like that and put leisure=place_of_worship on MapFeatures 
and the leisure template?


Ofc you can document stuff somewhere (especially you own page) so it can 
be found and what your idea behind it is, but not like that.

2014-09-11 Thread Andreas Goss
Ich habe es auch grade im Forum angesprochen und wollte es hier auch 
noch mal erwähnen, ich bin ja immernoch dafür das ganze mit 
emergency=access_point anstatt mit highway=emergency_access_point zu 
taggen auch wenn letzters schon häufig benutzt wird.


Es wurde mit highway=emergency_phone = emergency=phone auch schon 
gemacht. Ein großer Vorteil in diesem Fall wäre auch hier, dass man 
vorrübergehen beide Tags in der Datenbank lassen könnte. Finde es 
einfach komisch, wenn da emergency in der highway value stehe und wenn 
wir einen emergency= key haben. Es ist auch fraglich ob jeder access 
point etwas mit dem highway= key zu tun hat: Luft/Wasser Rettung. Auch 
wenn man sich Emergency Cleanup 
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:Emergency_Cleanup) anschaut 
geht der Trend klar Richtung emergency=. Tags wie amenity=police oder 
amenity=fire station sind inzwischen schon eher die Außnahme, es gibt 
sonst glaube ich auch keinen highway= tag der etwas mit 
Rettung(sdiensten) zu tun hat.

[OSM-talk] Fixing common possible Tagging Mistakes

2014-08-03 Thread Andreas Goss
I have been trying to document all the common tags for keys like 
amenity, shop, craft etc. in the Wiki using TagInfo. In the process I 
found several low usage tags that might have other matching well 
established tags. I put a small section with a Taginfo box and Overpass 
API link on those pages allowing mappers to find these tags in their 
area to fix them with local knowledge as some Tags might indeed be 
valid. Now I also added a category to them to make it easier to find all 
such tags in one's area!


Would be great if everybody could take a look in his/her region and 
maybe clean up some outdated tags!


Also feel free to add the code to other pages or remove/discuss it if 
you think it doesn't fit somewhere.

Re: [OSM-talk] Using Notes in France

2014-07-30 Thread Andreas Goss

create a note for missing addresses, shops, pharmacies, etc. Such
notes do not help contributors because it is so obvious and does not
bring any information or error report helping the others.


Missing POIs are not obvious at all. I can't look at openstreetmap.org 
and see Oh there is a shop or pharmacy missing here.


In Germany those notes are very common and mappers usually gladly 
impelent them. Usually it is also easy to confirm them with a qick 
google search and some people even post a URL. (The last carto update 
also made those mappers really happy, because we get a lot of notes for 
stuff that is in the DB, but not shown on the map)


For addresses it depends. A lot of addresses missing in the area? I 
agree no point in creating notes. A single address missing when 
everything around is covered? Certaily valid to point that out.



It just a bit arrongant or coming from people thinking that contributions have
to be prioritized like street names before buildings, etc.


Considering I mainly use street names for navigation and to find stuff 
on the map I don't see how it is arrogant. Dozen of houses missing in an 
area usually does not make a big difference, a few street names missing 
on the other hand are much more likely to result in a bad user experiance.

Re: [OSM-talk] Wiki translate extension

2014-07-24 Thread Andreas Goss

As for improving translation tasks on OSM wiki, how would you feel about
the Mediawiki Translate extension ?


I'm against any kind of automatic translation tool, which will just 
cause more errors. When I look up a word I'm usually at least presented 
with more than one translation.


Also this seems geared towards 1:1 translations, which in the 
OpenStreetMap Wiki often isn't the reality, because some things are 
different from country to country. Or for example usefull combinations 
or see also might be different. Some pages might even be very country 
specific and a short summary for other languages might be enough as long 
as there is a English documentation. Also warnings like Do not confuse 
with xyz might only make sense in one language.



What we really need is people actually editing the Wiki in the first 
place and in my opinion the best way to get people to do so would be a 
better editor: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor

Re: [OSM-talk] Wiki translate extension

2014-07-24 Thread Andreas Goss

 Using the same Wiki with language namespacing implements the concept of
 very close translations - the structure is the same for everyone, and
 the translator is just expected to fill in the blanks. I don't believe
 that this will lead to high-quality documentation; I believe this will
 be at best a little better than automatic translation.


But that concept is not really reality. There a dozen for German pages 
which are completely different from the English one, but both cover that 
topic in a way that is usefull for people who get to that page.


The main advantage I see with keeping everything in one Wiki is that it 
is a lot easier to find tagging or translation mistakes.



Often when I am going to translate an article, I try to improve it, but
because the english article is considered the main one, I end up
having to improve the english article as well. This can be a big
productivity killer.


Completely agree with you. As pointed out in the other mail the issue is 
not just translation, but documentation in the first place. I just tried 
to translate all the craft= pages, but bascially I have to fix the 
template on the English page first every time. For vending= which I did 
before I bacially had to create every single page.



I have to say that it wasn't intuitive to understand that, linking to
other wiki page from a page in portuguese will link to an english page
unless I stick a Pt: prefix before it.


On the one hand that's bad on the other hand it's also an advantage, 
because I bet most of the time the portuguese page does not exist, so 
forcing a create page would be worse.

Re: [OSM-talk] Wiki translate extension

2014-07-24 Thread Andreas Goss

If there is country specific information about a tag then I would like
to be aware of it, as it could be useful for other countries/languages too.


And if I open a DE:feature I would like to be presentet with the 
information relevant to my country in the first place.


If I open DE:bicycle_something then I don't want to be presented with 
various signs that are used in the US, South Africa, Japan or Mexico. I 
want to see the sign that I saw on the ground in Germany and then how to 
tag it.


So I want to see these signs:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Cycling_signs_in_Germany

And not these:
http://www.trafficsign.us/bikesign.html

If you want country relevant information on every translation then you 
do have to look though a dozen different signs 99.99% of the people 
reading that page are never goingto use. And those are sign that are 
easy to spot. Now make that text...



That could be as simple as copying it to the English language page (marking it 
as requiring translation) or if it's longer providing a link on the English 
language page.


You are still going to present me with a lot of information that is not 
usefull for my country. And it will get worse once you try to translate 
non-English pages back. From German to Englisch you are then going to 
get funny stuff like [PLEASE DON'T CONFUSE evangelical with evangelical!!!]

The food and drink tags are the one I didn't really touch yet or let's 
say later realized it was pretty complicated.


The problem is that if you look in taginfo you see a lot of different 
vending machines for some kind of food/drink products. This would result 
in a lot of different vending= tags. So the question is do we really 
want this or do we use vending=drinks + drink:milk=yes, obviously this 
means that you also need dink:soft_drink=yes instead of just assuming it 
like now.


I honestly not a huge fan of that, but on the other hand I also don't 
want half of the vending= tags to be for different kind of foods from
asparagus, tomatoes over potatos to cheese and eggs. Maybe meet somwhere 
in the middle and use vending=vegetables + food:...

Re: [Talk-de] Place-nodes von Großgemeinden wurden gelöscht

2014-07-19 Thread Andreas Goss

ich denke, dass Großgemeinden keinen place-node bekommen sollten.
place=* beschreibt eine Ansiedlung bestimmter Größe. Eine Großgemeinde
ist ein administrativer Zusammenschluss mehrerer solcher Ansiedlungen.
Das ist dann eine Sache für boundary-Relationen.


Mit der Logik müsste man dann auch Bayern usw. rausnehmen 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/473848012



Ich habe ja schon im Ursprungsposting gesagt, dass ich mich dieser
Argumentation nicht entziehe. Wie aber bekommen wir dann die
Diskrepanz aus der osm.org Karte, dass der Name von Kleinstgemeinden
gerendert wird aber diejenige von Großgemeinden nicht und somit die
Orientierung erschwert bis verunmöglicht?


Es gibt role=label http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:boundary 
was im Moment aber nicht wirklich unterstützt bzw. wohl nur zusammen mit 
place nodes? Man bräuchte dann wohl etwas wie place=label oder label=yes


Von dem rauslöschen halte ich nichts. Derjenige sollte sich vorher erst 
einmal um einer alternative Lösung kümmern, zumal es eben das gängige 
tagging ist.

I saw that in the German Forum. My main issue with this is that it is a

So if at all I would think of somthing like amenity=beauty_salon, but...


 As many solaria/tanning salons offer other

While that is certainly true, there are also many which don't (e.g.

If i tag that with beauty then the tag on its own becomes basically

[OSM-talk-fr] vending_machine=yes in France

2014-07-13 Thread Andreas Goss
I'm cleaning up vending and saw that vending_machine=yes was used in 
some places in France: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4am


1. amenity=bicycle_rental
I don't see the point. The tag itself already indicates the difference 
to shop=bicycle+service:bicycle:rental=yes


2. public_transport
Probably indicates vending=public_transport_tickets, but would it be 
wrong to set the tags if the is a drinkfood vending machine? At least 
you would need vending=* . I can see the idea, but I don't think we 
should tag everything on the platform with ...=yes (I could for example 
see that causes problems with the operator= tag as I for example have 
seen railway vending machines as bus stops close to the train station). 
In some places there was also a great public_transport schema in place, 
then I would just put the node for the amenity=vending_machine + 
vending=public_transport_tickets into the stop_area relation.


What do you think?

Greetings from Germany,
Andi

Re: [OSM-talk-fr] vending_machine=yes in France

2014-07-13 Thread Andreas Goss

1. amenity=bicycle_rental

The good tag is vending=yes, rent process not available at all station.
It's more clear in french translation
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:Tag:amenity=bicycle_rental


I don't speak French so this is what google gives me: yes for stations 
that have a possibility of payment and ticket printer (registration 
shortest possible time in these stations).


First of all I don't understand why this tag covers payment, when we 
have payment= which can be used in many ways.


Then I assume you always need some kind of ticket for the bike?

So then it depends if you just want to set payment:ticket (or something 
like that) on the station or do you include the vending machine, because 
then you might as well just set payment:cash=yes (I mean if I got to a 
cinema I also don't tagg it with vending=yes, because i can get the 
ticket right there and pay with cash). The stations where you can't do 
this are then different, because payment:cash=no. Maybe we should then 
consider a new value for payment like only and then you set 
payment:vcub_ticket=only. At least I think that is the direction this 
should be going.

Re: [Talk-de] wie tagge ich Zeltplätze?

2014-07-06 Thread Andreas Goss

das wichtigste vorweg: Was Mapnik oder wer auch immer wie rendert hat
mit einer Taggingdiskussion erstmal nichts zutun.


In der Theorie vielleicht, aber in der Relität mappen viele dann doch 
für den Renderer bzw. fühlen sich zumindest durch diesen bestätigt. Wenn 
ich denke Wohnwagen = caravan und danach werde ich durch das Bild 
bestätigt, dann schau ich wohl eher nicht noch ins Wiki.



Ob das entsprechende Tag nun motor_home, caravan oder xyz123 heißt ist
erstmal egal. Wesentlich ist die Beschreibung auf der Wiki-Seite. Wenn
du der Meinung bist, dass es klarer werden muss, kannst du dich da gerne
austoben, solange du an der Kernaussage nichts änderst.


Das Problem ist, dass du nicht immer davon ausgehen kannst, dass jeder 
ins Wiki schaut bzw. alles genau ließt. Wenn ich als Deutscher 
Wohnwagen=ja taggen würde, dann würde ich auch nicht ins Wiki schauen, 
weil es einfach logisch ist. Und ein nicht unbedeutender Teil der 
Community Spricht Englisch als Muttersprache und nicht jede Sprache hat 
dieses Zweideutigkeit Problem.


Daher ist Meiner Meinung nach eine Definition mit dem korrekten 
Englischen (BE) Wort mit einer der wichtigsten Schritte beim Tagging und 
sollte immer einer der ersten Schritte sein.
Je weniger Einträge ich in der Datenbank habe und von je weniger 
Applikationen sie benutzt werden, desto einfacher ist sie umdzudefinieren.


Abgesehen davon sind das auch tags, die in viele Zusammenhängen benutzt 
werden können z.B. bei den Elektro Ladestationen wurde neulich auch 
gefragt. D.h. du hast mehrere Seiten auf denen der Begriff verwendet 
wird und damit immer das Risko, dass er unterschiedlich definiert wird. 
Und dann auch noch Englisches Wiki vs. Deutsches Wiki vs. ... 
(fireplace=yes ist da z.B. ein sehr schönes Beispiel)

Man könnte auch über food gehen:

Andererseits hat es eben den Vorteil, dass ich nicht für jedes 
Nahrungsmittel einen neuen vending=tag brauche, dann müsste ich halt nur 
jedes mal vending=food; food:snacks=yes setzten, wenn ich diesen

Ich finde das Schema mit vending_machine besser als photo_booth


für welche Art Maschine? Es ist ja evtl. noch gar nicht komplett klar, was 
vending=photos bedeuten soll, könnten z.B. auch die Automaten sein, wo man in 
Selbstbedienung Abzüge von Digitalfotos machen kann.


Also ich bin in Deutschland mal durchgegangen und es waren fast alle 
irgendwie als Fotoautomaten identifizierbar. Viele hatten einen namen, 
operator, note, description tag oder changenote mit Fotofix oder 
ähnlichem wie Photoautomat (Blerli) oder Passbildautomat. Die 
Standortkarte der Hersteller hat es auch fast immer bestätigt bzw. der 
Standort an sich war schon recht offensichtlich (U-Bahn station etc.) 
Wobei es in Berlin auch einen in der Uni-Bib gab glaube ich, da vermute 
ich doch eher einen Drucker.


Im Moment versuche ich die Japanische Community zu erreichen (die haben 
noch die meisten http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/3W0), weil ich mir da 
wirklich vorstellen könnte, dass die irgendwelche anderen abgespaceten 
Automaten haben, leider hatte ich da noch kein Glück. Hab an die Mailing 
liste geschrieben, aber bin mir nicht sicher ob das ankam.


Ansonsten denke ich kann man auf jeden Fall ein Argument für vending 
machen, dann würde ich es aber mit amenity=vending_machine + 
vending=photo_booth taggen, dann ist klar was gemeint ist. Dann könnte 
man auch alle amenity=photo_booth so umtaggen und die restlichen

gemeint ist.


ja, ein Automat der Fotoautomaten verkauft;-)


operator=alibaba ;D


Dann könnte man auch alle amenity=photo_booth so umtaggen und die restlichen

für mich ist der amenity tag besser geeignet als vending machine für die 
Automaten, wo man gegen Bezahlung ein Foto machen und nach kurzer Wartezeit 
mitnehmen kann. Was verkauft wird ist m.E. in erster Linie ein Service (dass 
ein Foto aufgenommen wird), ich würde das eher nicht als Verkaufsautomat 
bezeichnen


Ja bei denen bin ich 50:50. Sehe beides irgendwo. Englisches wiki steht 
z.B. erster Satz: A photo booth is a vending machine...

Anders als bei den Packstationen. Das ist eigentlich wirklich kein vending.

Im Deutschen Wikipedia heißt das ganze auch Selbstbedienungsautomat = 
Vending machine wäre wohl der bessere Begriff (self-service) gewesen, 
aber das scheint es im englischen so nicht wirklich zu geben. Vielleicht 
muss man es dann einfach so interpretieren und nicht direkt als 
Verkaufsautomat.
Weil da passt dann alles rein: Ein Selbstbedienungsautomat ist ein 
Apparat, der Waren gegen Bezahlung ausgibt (Verkaufsautomat) oder den 
Zugang zu abgesperrten Räumen oder Dienstleistungen ermöglicht.

Hi,

I'm from Germany and cleaning up the amenity=vending_machine / vending=* 
tags.


vending=photos has been used in some counties among then a lot in Japan 
(http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/3W0). In Germany it turned out most of the 
time what people meant was a photo booth 
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dphoto_booth). If 
that's the case then please replace the tags in Japan, at least the ones 
you know that they are photo booths.


If the tag amenity=vending_machine + vending=photos was used for 
something else then please document it in the Wiki or look if there 
already exists a correct tag that for those POIs, because so far that 
combination is not defined.

Unclassified is used for minor public roads typically at the lowest

Wenn man OSM routing sucht ist openrouteservice.org bei mir gleich 2x

I just think the diaries are too important for that, right now. They are 
pretty pretty much the only place where you can share something with the 
community outside of mailing lists. In addition those blog entries can 
actually be formatted and shared online compared to mailing lists. 
(e.g. 
http://www.reddit.com/r/duckduckgo/duplicates/24yqc2/nextduckduckgo_uses_openstreetmap_for_places/)


OpenStreetMap does not really have a news page, which gets regular 
updates and submitting the larger announcements to the official blog to 
be published will be even more work.


Also they are on the openstreetmap.org domain which means is really 
great from a SEO perspective (compared to private blogs), which 
unfortunately also is the main reason for all the Spam.

[OSM-talk] This has to stop: User Diaries Spam

2014-05-13 Thread Andreas Goss
First of all let me say I'm a huge fan of the diaries, I think it is 
great that OpenStreetMap gives every user the chance to present his own 
blog to a larger audiance.


BUT something has to be done against the Spam on the User Diaries page. 
This could be done by moderating faster, but then there is still the 
problem with Twitter and other feed based systems.

Just today I got this: http://i.imgur.com/jKAxzLh.png

You know what the first thing is I would do if I wasn't really committed 
to OpenStreetMap? I would UNFOLLOW that account. I actually had this set 
up for Facebook, but got rid of it, because it was so annoying.


OpenStreetMap already isn't doing that much regarding social media and 
Marketin/PR, so can we at least do it right with the few channels that 
exist?


The best solution in my opinion -if possible- would be to limit the 
access to diaries to accounts that have existed for a certain time and 
have some edits (just like 1 week and 5-10 Edits) or maybe easier 
require moderator approval for every account that isn't 1 week or month 
old. A general approval for the diaries by moderator approval for the 
first posts only might also be a solution.


I also wrote 2 diary entries about this some time ago:

Has anyone ever thought of developing a program to compare street names

errors in which the street name is misspelled or completely wrong.


In Germany we have a tool that compares street names in OSM to a simple 
List of names in a wiki page.

For Example Munich:

Coinmap author here. I think payment:bitcoin=menufy makes more sense.



Sounds great at frist glance, but when you look closer at the payment= 
Key http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:payment then it becomes a 
issue as you can't use =interval anymore. While this isn't really a 
problem with menufy, I could see services like this where you want to 
use it, so it might not be a good idea to establish this kind of tagging 
and rather have something like payment:bitcoin_menufy=yes or simply have 
a completely different tag that just states that they use menufy, like 
menufy=yes (probably is some better version I can't think of).

Update:

/u/dansfloyd (Reddit) who works at Menufy finally replied:


I believe it is just random bitcoin supporters... we have had some issues with 
people not understanding that the bitcoin purchases have to be made online, and not in 
the restaurant.


So sorry for the subject of the mail :(

[OSM-talk] Menufy.com added hundrets of stores with payment:bitcoin=yes, which don't accept Bitcoin

2014-04-29 Thread Andreas Goss
I just stumbled over 
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/24b22n/bitmap_app_cointerestorg_openstreetmapcom/


So far it looks like menufy.com or someone else has been adding hundrets 
of restaurants with payment:bitcoin=yes to OpenStreetMap, even though 
most of those restaurants do NOT accept Bitcoin at their physical location.


This is the user account: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Blobo123

It sometimes refer to this
http://www.coindesk.com/menufy-now-supports-bitcoin-payments-400-us-restaurants/ 
which even states: The proprietors might not even be aware that they 
are accepting bitcoin payments.


It would be great if someone with more experiance could look into this, 
especially as a revert is probably needed at least for the 
Bitcoin-payment tag.

I would be less concerned about the bitcoin aspect of it


I think that is a pretty important aspect considering that CoinMap seems 
to be pretty popular in the Bitcoin community. But if users end up going 
to restaurants where they can't pay with Bitcoin and the owner does not 
even know what Bitcoins are they are going to be get frustrated and use 
alternative services. Which then also means that there is less 
initiative for business owners accepting Bitcoin to make sure they are 
(correctly) listed on OpenStreetMap.


Considering CoinMap has 4000+ listing (according to some recent 
articles) then 700 wrong listings are a significant amount of bad data 
(assuming most of the stores do indeed not accept Bitcoin at they 
physical location).

PS: I honestly didn't even consider the overall legal aspect of this.

I think we can keep the logo as it is protected as a registered brand,

have the rights on it they reserve in their terms (maybe we could file a
