Re: [Talk-ca] User Import of Australian data

2010-03-05 Thread Sam Vekemans
Yup, for the imports list.
The term 'post-osm-import database' is need to be explained here.

Where this database exists (like OpenStreetBugs exists) just outside of OSM.
OsmImportsMap.org where there is a JOSM plugin (as well as a web
interface) and all the data thats available gets put into it.

So the sytem has a way to know weather or not a user has done anything
with the data, as a ID is assigned to each piece of importable data.

So with this OsmImportsMap.org site, we would have a direct link to
the Canada NRCan ftp directory  unzip the files and available in this
post-osm database.

The advantage is:
1- the reviewed=yes is embedded within the system of OSM-id.
2 - the whole community is involved
3 - the login is the same as OSM
4 - we are not interfering with existing OSM data
5 - it gets treated in the same way that WMS layers are 'its just
another source of info'
6 - the Coraine import is a perfect example, it can be addapted to
except more data to its back end.
6 - as the NRCan data gets updated, the version of the .osm files that
are sitting on the NRC an ftp site, will be directly fed to the
OsmImportsMap.org (post-osm-database) -so the front end users will be
always working with the latest data available.

Cheers,
Sam

 Bonjour à vous les cartographes !

 Here as attachment the main page openstreetmap.ca translated in French.
 If you could generate a tag English/Français somewhere on the main site
 which will be link to the English or French content it would be just great.
 After that, Francophone will be able to understand easily the
 Openstreetmap.ca page.
 I put in red the actual English wording in the document. I put the link
 to openstreetmap.fr from France for more documentation in French at the end.
 However, be careful once you link some of openstreetmap general wiki page
 for the French content of this openstreetmap.ca, be aware that you should
 link them to French (with the FR: tag), as an exemple the section online
 editor tag in the main page is linked to :
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editing , but it should be replaced by
 this one : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:Editing , and so on for all
 other links to wiki pages in French...

 Thanks for doing this French integration to the OSM.ca site.

 Please keep me informed once the version is online.

 Merci.

 Au plaisir,

 Nicolas

 Manitoba and Alberta appear to be fine.  I took a quick look at the SK

 have a suggestion as to the cause (and fix?)
