For those who already looked at the doodle: I changed the times just
now as I realized the proposed times would be in the middle of the
night for Europe.

I thought I should bump this up to its own thread:
The Welcome WG needs a boost after Richard's (cc) initial great work
on the proposal and initial meeting. Let's have a follow-up meeting to
see who's interested in committing time to this WG, what we can do
right now and what the longer term agend
Kathleen,
Yes, the Welcome WG does need a boost after Richard's (cc) initial
great work on the proposal and initial meeting. I wanted to wait until
the semester is over so that my teaching obligations would not keep
interfering, but I guess we're almost there, so I am willing to
organize a next me
No place to learn what to do? The wiki may be overwhelming, sometimes
outdated and incorrect, or even a vehicle for personal opinions on
tagging and whatnot, but there are definitely resources to help you
get started. All OSM editors have useful presets for common features,
you can't really go wron

As far as metrics... an xapi query like
[highway=*][ref|name=*][bbox=a,b,c,d] on jxapi was taking ~5-10 hours when
it was using "exists(tags, 'highway')" (which doesn't use the index
Interesting, I have been looking for a way to speed up those types of
queries for a while, thanks!
Do you have metrics on this?

It's worth noting that the results will be in Mercator meters, not meters.
I have OSM loaded into a pgsnapshot db and can run queries on request.
Something else is that tags->'highway' in ( 'motorway', 'primary',
'secondary' ) will NOT use indexes on tags.

Richard,
If the data you're using is in PostGIS ST_Length will give you the length
of all the ways of interest within a bounding box, and, if you reproject to
EPSG:900913 before calling the function you'll get the results in meters.
select ST_length( ST_Transform( linestring, 900913 ) ), id, tags

It's a mixed bag, some of the information is very good and of high

It would be ideal if the Wiki could be relied upon as a guide to
everything in OSM so that if you want to know "how is X usually done in
OSM" you can turn to the Wiki and fin
