Hi, I noticed a few days ago that the royal mail has made a map of the postboxes they've painted gold (just temporarily?) for this Olympics. Quite nicely, they use OSM, but they don't (obviously? at all?) credit OSM: http://www.goldpostboxes.com/ Is it credited? If not, who follows up these kinds of things?
The post box positions as marked on that map are an overlay of the OSM map, so could give hints as to positions of untagged postboxes for later surveying. I saw an earlier discussion which indicated a lack of enthusiasm (my impression at least), regarding adding olympics data as it was considered 'transient' or 'historical' - or at least in a few weeks/months time it will. What's the feeling regarding tagging the 'gold' nature of these for 2012? Immediate ideas that spring to mind are something like tagging them as gold temporarily and then adding a prefix like 'was:' (akin to disused:). Alternatively, since post boxes are all ref'd (in theory!) then an external database suffices... except that lots of extra data is already *in* the database... Thoughts? -- Neil _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
