[datameet] Re: Post Office Locations

2017-12-10 Thread Gagan Bansal 
Hi Devdatta,

This data is very interesting, great effort. Now I see on Bhuvan 
(https://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/governance/mcit_post#) gaps are filled. Like I 
checked Chhattisgarh data is available. 
So request you to run your script once again to crawl it. The complete 
dataset for pincode can be used by many persons. 

Regards,
Gagan

Great Arun !!
I wish to participate for this activity.
So, whatever maps I upload on mapwarper, I should update the Google docs
for corresponding Planning District/Page No reference to the mapwarper
link. Right ?

Also would like to know the plan forward to integrate the planning district
wise maps onto a single platform.

Regards,
Suvajit

Re: [datameet] Understanding Bengaluru Masterplan 2031

2017-12-10 Thread Arun Ganesh 
The main outcome of the Saturday workshop was to crowdsource the effort to
georeference all the remaining masterplan maps. In total there are 48
planning districts each with  detailed existing and proposed landuse maps.
Additionally each district map is divided into 4 pages. That makes it a
total of 48 * 2 * 4 = 384 map sheets.

We have documented the instructions here: https://textb.org/t/rmp2031/
And a spreadsheet to track the final map link:
