Re: [OSM-talk] Editing of content that will be deleted on April 1st

The numbers come from Frederik's map and some areas really look dramatic. odbl.poole.ch and http://odbl.de come to very optimistic conclusions. Possibly because they only consider the last contributor to an object or another metric which doesn't hold water. Jo 2011/12/14 Simon Poole

I put up a video where I do some remapping. I'd like to hear whether I can add this to the wiki as a good way to go about it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaJ3DAFTjX8 Polyglot 2011/12/13 Frederik Ramm > Hi, > > apologies if this is the 2nd or 3rd time you're reading this, I have > posted

Re: [OSM-talk] JOSM error when trying to save a local copy

Hi John, I just downloaded 4738 and I was able to save to a local file. I had some trouble adding the improveWayAccuracy plugin, but I think it's due to a flaky internet connection. After 3 retries with Update Plugins, JOSM told me they're all up to date now. Polyglot 2011/12/30 john whelan >

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM @ FOSDEM?

I missed FOSDEM last year, what was done then? I can also help out this year. Gael Musquet asked for a stand, but I don't know what the decision of the FOSDEM team has been wrt it. I'm on their mailing list and I just perused their web site, but can't find anything. Polyglot 2012/1/4 eMerzh > H

Re: [OSM-talk] [OSM-talk-fr] OSM @ FOSDEM?

I will be at FOSDEM as well. I can be at the stand for a couple of hours on Saturday and on Sunday. Not all the time, as I'd like to go and discover all the goodies a bit too. I just got a brand new Android Tablet on which I installed Vespucci and OsmAnd and I have some other devices which are use

Re: [OSM-talk] The aim of OpenStreetView

I upload all the photos I took during my mapping journeys. I'm not a photographer and I'm sure a photographer would abhorr those pictures. Sometimes taken from a riding bicycle or a moving horse... They are meant to be informative, that's all. Openstreetview.org will never be a direct competitor t

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] [OSM-talk] Mixing OSM and FOSM data

If these people's contributions to those objects were 'negligeable' then reverting those objects may hardly have an effect. They show green so we don't have to waste precious time 'fixing' them. If what those people contributed is not present anymore in the current version, then why would other con

Re: [OSM-talk] Disconnected streets in Lima

Hi, As you can see here, local people are becoming active themselves in Peru (and Lima): http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-pe/2012-April/thread.html Maybe you can write a mail in English to their list. At least some of them will be able to communicate in English. I'm sure they'll wel

[OSM-talk] Tagging of a large slab of concrete with many bus routes going over it

. All the virtual ways are paths across the concrete in order to get a nice picture when rendering the bus routes. It seems like a good compromise, but I'm at a loss about whether it's the right way to map the whole area. Thanks for your input. Jo

Re: [OSM-talk] Explicit tagging of name language

there is no ONE, best-fitting local language. So in Brussels, everything is tagged in two languages. Which one goes first depends on the person who is first to add it to the map, or since French and Dutch lend themselves to it, constructs like: Rue d'Anderlechtstraat. It would be odd to not apply this rule to the name of the city itself. Jo ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
