Anyone interested to edit the Philippine OSM info in the link below? This info might be included in updated versions of the OSM book.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Frederik Ramm <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Oct 29, 2010 at 4:36 AM Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] OSM book To: [email protected] Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> The first English edition is based largely on the 3rd German edition. But since it was proof-read by people who were not involved in the German book, it does do some things a little differently. The most visible differences are: * English version has an appendix with country-specific OSM information about many countries. This appendix is under CC-BY-SA and available as PDF (http://www.openstreetmap.info/content/mapping_the_world.pdf) and OpenOffice document (http://svn.openstreetmap.org/misc/documents/osmbook/mapping_the_world.odt). People are welcome to edit it and we might include updated versions in later editions. * English version has 2 or 3 additional screen shots in the editor chapters, and discusses Potlatch before JOSM rather than after. * English version has a more detailed and illustrated Mapnik style example (example source downloadable here: http://www.openstreetmap.info/examples/mapnik-example.xml) But apart from that the changes are negligible. We changed examples and illustrations to better fit the international audience, added in a few tags - that's all I remember. -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
