Hi all, I’d like to thank Maning, Althio, Zacharia, Robert and Nirab, as well as Mark and Blake for sharing respectively their views, thoughts and expectations about HOT or what they intend to do within the organization. Those reads have been energizing: I share most of those points which have be

Re: [HOT] open geology map

I think this suggestion belongs more on the general OSM talk or tagging list than on the HOT list, but anyway. There are already a number of ways to tag surface, like surface=*, natural=*, landuse=*, landcover=*, ... Just read the wiki about those (f.e. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:natur

Re: [HOT] Source=PGS issue on 917 task 98

Hi John PGS source, this is old imports of varying quality defining the coastal areas. Mapping the area, I also saw those polygons that seem to delimit wetlands but do not fit with the imagery. Effectively, I think that we can later revise all of this and remove.    Pierre De : john whel

Re: [HOT] open geology map

Dear Sander, I think that a moderate list of specific conventions, well-documented, will be needed, because the conventions already exist in geological mapping. For instance, we'd probably want a consistent way to tag a fault with the direction that it moves in. Thank you for your advice on

Re: [HOT] open geology map

Living in an earthquake area, I understand and appreciate the need for geological maps. The problem is in the complexity of geological data. Using OSM as a base layer over which geological data is displayed is a very easy way to see if residents and office buildings are in danger zones. I've contem

Re: [HOT] Source=PGS issue on 917 task 98

John Mapping in other zones, I see that these lines with the only tag source=PGS are part of a multipolygon Relation with the tag natural=wetland. If you do not see the relation , it probably mean that this was deleted previously by a mapper.  Pierre De : john whelan À : Pierre Béland
