Re: [OSM-talk] What would make MapRoulette better?

Hi Martijn I support the idea that a user can define an area-of-his-interests (as part of his profile/account?). My another wish is to show OSM data (Overpass?) in the first place - similar to what map data layer in osm.org shows but only around coordinate. Background is, that when the challenge

That's really cool. What would it take to merge more sources in there? For example the main community e-mail address, their activities calendar, their riot/telegram/slack group? Maybe a structured wiki page could be the source? 2017-11-25 17:48 GMT+01:00 Nelson A. de Oliveira : > On Sat, Nov 25,

[OSM-talk] New tool/API to find local OSM mailing lists by location

I've made a tool with an API for finding local OSM mailing lists. https://local.openstreetmap.directory/ The web interface handles searching by place name or lat/lon, the API can be queried by place name, lat/lon and OSM object. This is a proof of concept, I threw it together to see if it useful

[OSM-talk] OSM Tag History updates - call for help

OSM Tag History is a great service which shows the changes of a given tag used in the OSM database. Probably some of you already know it: http://taghistory.raifer.tech The problem is however that it needs a full database, which includes tag history. The author is not willing to run it himself,

John, by a step of abstraction, you are touching one of the most complex and complicated issues related to the OSM source data. Namely, replications and overlaps as its consequences. Let us focus on area overlaps and especially on the kind you have mentioned – when the overlapping geometries, wi
