I never use it myself but accord to the stat, it's still in use in the top 10 of end-user editor. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editor_usage_stats While it is in the top 10 by number of edits, it is far down by the number of users, below Level0 and GNOME Maps. Its usage has been very close to Potlatch 1 since 2014. Ilya ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev

For the low-level JSON encoding RapidJSON is used.

Looking at the http://www.merkaartor.be/, I see a release in 2016, and the last mailinglist message was in November of 2017. So I am contemplating whether merkaator should be updated in pkgsrc, or dropped. Questions: The merkaartor package was removed from Debian recently, we share many of the same concerns. See: https://bugs.debian.org/933492 Is 0.18.3 really the most recent release? That seems to be the case, it's also the most recent tag: https://github.com/openstreetmap/merkaartor/releases Is there any reason to think a new release will be forthcoming? The removal of the merkaartor package from Debian got Ladislavs attention, and he wanted to make a new release in the hope to get the package back into Debian. See: https://github.com/openstreetmap/merkaartor/issues/146#issuecomment-517509242 A new release now is not sufficient to get the package back into Debian, releases need to be more frequent and that likely requires more active contributors and co-maintainers. Is Merkaator a reasonable choice for OSM editing, it terms of working with current APIs and preset notions? JOSM is the only decent editor in my not so humble opinion, with that package you meet the needs of most users.

[OSM-dev] Libosmium method of converting OSM to GeoJSON
Hi there, I've been using osmium-tool for extracting features from osm exporting to GeoJSON, and was just wondering what method it's using for the osm -> geojson conversion. Does it rely on another library (GDAL / OGR), or is it using some other method. I see that Libosmium has some references to gdal, so that's my hunch, but wanted to confirm if that's not the case. Thanks, Craig ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
