[Talk-us] Colorado Wildfire Update

2013-07-01 Thread Russell Deffner
Dear HOT and OSM-US communities, I was really hoping to send an up-beat, up-date regarding the Colorado, USA wildfire situation and had just successfully posted a light-hearted diary entry. Almost immediately after posting that, I heard horrible news. I am once again saddened to report

[Talk-us] Bridge naming

2013-07-01 Thread Martijn van Exel
Hi all, Thinking about bridge naming. Usually, a bridge will just have the same name as the ways surrounding it. In those cases, the name= tag on the bridge should just be the same as the name= tag on the connecting ways, right? Here's an example:

2013/7/2 Martijn van Exel m...@rtijn.org There are actually several approaches suggested on the Bridge wiki on how to tag bridge names[1]. The above cases represent the first approach: using the name tag. This may not be appropriate everywhere, however: if the road running across the bridge

I think it makes perfect sense to separate it into name=* and bridge:name=* tags. The bridge:name=* currently isn't rendered, but theoretically, it could be rendered differently and in a more appropriate/eye-catching way than name=*. This leaves the case though, what if a bridge doesn't carry a

Steve, I understand your concern, believe me, I do. I too want public OSM events to be as inclusive as possible. We were actually just talking about alternatives during the mappy hour (for different reasons) and the conclusion for now was that there is not a mature alternative available yet that

[Talk-us] Update on highway shield rendering

For those interested in highway shields: Phil, Ian and myself put some more time in on getting shields working on the OSM-US server last week. We actually got things mostly working but did run into a brick wall. Unfortunately postgres 8.4 doesn't support how the image data is being handled. The

This actually came up when we were talking about the shields last week. The shields rendering is actually a full mapnik stylesheet, not just an overlay. Phil pointed out that this is the only way to avoid conflicts. So it is essentially a full osm.org mapnik stylesheet (from a few months ago but
