Hello,
The first draft of an agreement that will pave the way for federated local
chapters is ready for community consultation. The Local Chapters working
group along with the OSM-F Board and other people in the OSM community have
been working on the agreement over the last few months. To read m

Hi,
After some urging by TimBL, I put some more work into uploading some new

No, don't delete them if they may be of historical value (or if they
come back again). Tag them with something so they don't show in the
"current day" maps. We already have historical tagged items - things
that don't currently exist. (US Civil war battlesites, etc).

Hi Alice
What kind of features did you bring in from OCHA? We do have to be careful here.
On the ground mapping isn't going to be possible for a while. There's still a
lot to do remotely. We're looking at acquiring satellite imagery in the
Northeast, where Yahoo isn't covered. And we're activel

BTW if you mean "ugly" as in ugly icons, you can create your own by defining
a TYP file. Just don't expect too much from a 24x24 bitmap

Well, if it is purposeful vandalism, I'd still take my hat off to them, as
they did a really good job.
Very precise, and it would be a pity to loose it (even though, if it's not
"real" then of course it should be removed).
It almost looks like a science town with area's of different
technologies/

As ugly as upside-down labels? To avoid those (if you will allow track
up mode) you'd have to have a combination raster and vector mode,
which would in turn require a label-free raster map.
