Re: [Talk-GB] Hi everyone

Hello,

In Spanish comunnity when someone ask about a forum I recommend to check
the mailing list via nabble.com.

Here you can check talk-gb list:
http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Great-Britain-f5372682.html

There you can search for topics too, reply messages or even have a RSS url
tu subscribe with your favorite feeder reader.

Cheers

I don't know anyone in GB who explicitly checks the 
"review_requested=yes" changeset tag, though it is available in QA tools 
such as OSMCha that can search those.  I think people (in GB) are more 
likely to look for "new mappers near them" either by noticing new edits 
locally or via some other means (for example, a bot posts "first edits" 
to the #osm-gb IRC channel).


Best Regards,

Andy

If you are looking for something specific, you could always do a Google 
search like this:


site:lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb example

This will look up 'example' on only the talk-gb mailing list archive.

Thanks,
Greg

Re: [Talk-GB] Hi everyone

Hi Bart,

Welcome (back).

There are many https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_Kingdom resources
on the OSM Wiki, including UK/British tagging guidelines.

We've been around quite a while, and the wiki is stale in places. I am
starting a revitalisation of the UK wiki pages. The category
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:United_Kingdom contains many
diverse pages.

The OSMUK Chapter was formed 2 years ago and you can join if/when you get
keen. We run the https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_Quarterly_Project
and the old ones are a good place to find tools like Mathmos. The 'old'
projects are not dead. The plan is for the projects to be incubators for
tagging guidelines and wiki pages.

As to forum vs mailing list, it is again a historical choice and trying to
get a single place to talk, with people being welcoming, is the biggest
challenge.

Finally, I don't know who checks chnagesets. Can someone enlighten us
please?

Regards,
   Jez

[Talk-GB] Hi everyone

[BD]

Firstly I would like to say hello to all of you.  Im new to mapping but 
Im fairly good at all computer things. (some time ago I mapped my 
neighborhood with JOSM but due to lack of time all stopped there). Now Im 
back and having discovered the iD editor Im sure I will be able to make 
few more contributions to this project.I have to say that Im a bit 
surprised with the mailing list being used instead of forum, which would allow 
for easier search and access to the information. Can someone tell me if there 
is a standard for GB OSM mapping, what I mean by that is if there is a best 
practice template. As an example Polish standard exists as a wiki:  
wiki.openstreetmap.org wiki.openstreetmap.org   In one of recent emails a 
useful tool was mentioned ( osm.mathmos.net osm.mathmos.net ), do we know if 
any more handy stuff like that is available on the net? Did somebody made a 
list of useful links?   An one final question for this email is, who is 
policing changes to OSM in situation where editor asks for the changeset to be 
reviewed?   Cheers,  Bart
