Interesting. I wonder how good I could make the matches. I'm not sure people should be going round mapping cul-de-sacs without noting names anyway though should they? Might be fun to make a josm/(whatever) plugin that autosuggests a newly entered street's name. > It would of course be a nice adjunct to functionality to > import OS Vector District data and stitch that into the existing OSM > data and one it could then even suggest a batch of changes to an area > but one step at a time.

I could possibly show FIXMEs in the match info. There are a bunch of things I need to do first though. Port the matching modules of my code to postgis, set up daily incremental auto-imports of data, and I also want to refactor a lot of the javascript to use the more generic concept of statuses rather than matches. And I should probably also rewrite my info pages so they sound less like the ramblings of a lunatic. robert. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
