It appears that User:grossing (
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/grossing/edits) sporadically removes TIGER
node duplicates throughout the US.

I thought we had decided *not* to do this without careful inspection? Can
someone with better German than I try to explain to him why what he's doing
is a bad thing?

[OSM-talk] Revert of changeset

2010-06-04 Thread Nakor
 Hello,

Could somebody please revert changeset #4845372 or point out how I can 
do it? Since one week I have been finding countless errors coming from 
it. To show a few examples:

* linking a road and a railway at 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/62417120 when there actually is 
a bridge
* removing nodes from road, actually truncating the road: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/8733179
* connecting river and roads when there are bridges/tunnels
* ...

I contacted the user but did not hear back from them so far.

   Thanks,

N.

[OSM-talk] coastline error checker

2010-06-04 Thread Ulf Mehlig
I've the impression that the coastline error checker is not working at
the moment (last updated: 14th of April); coastline changes I've made
some weeks ago in northern Brazil have not yet been applied to the
openstreetmap.org mapnik layer. Is there anything one can do?

Thanks, Ulf

Aw, c'mon! Don't you dare to chicken out of this just because we'll

Re: [OSM-talk] Post-SOTM idea: Volcanoes of Olot

2010-06-04 Thread Tim Waters
I am also thinking of staying a couple of days after SOTM, was
thinking about Barcelona mainly, but Orlot looks looks interesting
too.

However, I see the words, "volcanic landscape" and "bike rental" and
match these with Spain in July and think that I'd rather be on a bus
than cycling up a volcano for half a day in reasonably warm weather :)

Cycling down the mountain is another matter!

Are there any nearby seaside resort towns that need mapping?

Re: [OSM-talk] Fwd: OpenStreetMap featured on Ushahidi/Uchaguzi site

2010-06-04 Thread Mikel Maron
Thanks, I'm sending Jessica an email


"Hard to know where to start. One big issue with election monitoring is
polling place locations, and those are not always easy to come by. Here
in Kenya, NDI is having a hell of a time pulling those together. This
is the kind of work the OSM community specializes in ... identifying
data sets, working on getting data released, importing it into OSM,
doing custom data feeds and rendering as needed; or if the data can't
be released from official sources, just doing it anyway! Almost every
country in the world has an OSM community, and connected directly with
them to update the map is a great idea. Trainings/mapping parties can
be organized with communities interested in collecting more data.

On the Ushahidi side, OSM is an option, but not the default. I think it
would be great to see some guidance on how to choose a base map layer
... how to compare the current covereage, and how to judge if
organizing to improve OSM would be a good idea. I know Melissa Tully
has just completed and published various guides, perhaps one on mapping
would be interesting to collaborate on."

Hi Kate und Richard,

I'm one of the guys who run the Pompeii first OSM Archeo-Mapping
Party, and I'm working on an "historical mapping" proposal [1].
On my blog there are also the slides of a talk [2] about the
archeo-action on OSM gave during the first OSM Italian meeting "OSMit
2009".

I must also note that during the latest ArcheoFOSS meeting in Italy,
Denis Francisci has proposed a separate OSM rendering system for
historic Roman features [3],[4].

Sorry for Italian-speaking-only links, but all the documents were
intended for "national" consuming ;) It's a pity, I would attend to
THATCamp, but now I don't have so much time...

Hope this will help,

I've some statistic about the planet file of the last week:
http://www.h-renrew.de/h/osm/osmchecks/03_Statistik/planet/statistic.html

88287 users have contributed to this planet files

The upper graphs show:
The planet files has currently:
636  million nodes
49   million ways
0.66 million relations

about 2500 users have contributed 90% of all nodes
about 3000 users have contributed 90% of all nodes
about 700 users have contributed 90% of all relations


The change date statistic on the bottom shows that:
about 60% of all relations have been edited or created this year.
about 35% of all ways have been edited or created this year.
about 20% of all nodes have been edited or created this year.

I've also the same statistic of germany:
http://www.h-renrew.de/h/osm/osmchecks/03_Statistik/de/statistic.html
(labels are german)
