is collusion, what I don't want is people to enter bad data. Showing you random points is one guard. I think selecting the county isn't far from just ordering the batches by county. So I think that places you third on the list. Get clicking! Steve On 6/8/2011 11:07 AM, Peter Batty wrote

I think it's great that something is being done on this. Personally I would suggest finding a few volunteers to be tested and sit in a room with them. You don't need a lot of people to find the key issues and I think you get more from seeing them do it in person and having them think out loud

Re: [Talk-us] Address Lookup

2010-05-21 Thread Peter Batty
I don't agree that there is no value in address range interpolation like TIGER uses. As anyone who has edited TIGER data knows, it is not very accurate. So cleaning that up (address aspects as well as geometry and attributes) is a valuable thing that we can do in OSM. Getting a viable geocoding

Chris, my goal in participating in OpenStreetMap was and still is to help build a free and open map of the world. The license change does nothing to alter that goal. I'm sorry you feel the way that you do. I encourage everyone to continue to contribute to this great project. Cheers, Peter.
