This weekend sees Sheffield's first Transport Hackday, hosted at theGistLab[3], we've got a bunch of guys sitting here with various apps we've written or would like to write and one of the projects we identified as a potential target for today would be refreshing the NAPTAN data in OSM.
Myself & one of the other hackers have been reading the info on the existing import[1] and we've come across a few speed bumps in our efforts. Firstly, the info on the page is about 2 years out of date, so my first question is what is the state of NAPTAN data in OSM? Did the import finish? Secondly, the license mentioned seems out of date, since 2009 the NAPTAN data has been released under the Open Government License which makes using it with OSM much more palatable[2] I've seen the tools available to import NAPTAN data, and now that the license is relaxed, I'd like to propose we kick off the data import again?
