Hi again,
Thanks for the feedback on building traces. The consensus seems to be
for a JOSM plugin while others saying all surveying should be done on
the ground. Surveys are only practical where there is permissive or
public access to buildings, but the majority of buildings are
inaccessible
Hi Henry
As a lurker, and someone that would be keen to contribute, can I suggest
somewhere where effort would be useful - A simple mechanism to attach
attributes to streets. Perhaps a web interface with those incomplete
streets highlighted. This would be low hanging fruit to a local, with a

In response to the comment no imports ever, I would point out that
building imports is a completely different situation than that of public

I'd say about 95% of buildings are rectangles. About 99% of buildings are

We need to be careful about extracting shapes from products that are
known to be downsampled. A quick look at Street

The detail for water is excellent and may be the most 'detailed'

Do you know how OS do the water detail?

A lot of stuff nowadays is done from aerial imagery, but they can still drop
back to traditional surveying methods if required.
It was a strange coincidence that I met an OS surveyor, theodolite in
hand, doing just that when I was

Hello all,
It seems there is a consensus on what we do with the OS data:
- not bulk importing
- careful mix of tracing and perhaps some targeted direct imports, ideally
using local knowledge and on-the-ground surveys
To achieve that careful mix we need to be clear about areas that are
