[OSM-talk] Presenting filter for openstreetmaps history RSS feeds
Hello everyone! I've been a mapper for some years, and now I've decided to do some coding. I've been using history tab in OSM website, but it is usually filled with bot-generated changes that cover the half of the world. I did not find any solutions to overcome this in osm RSS feeds, so I've decided to make a filter that will filter out these large changesets in RSS feed. Now I present you guys this filter: http://positron96.appspot.com/osmfilter.html . At the moment the concept is simple: all changes with bounding box larger that 20 degrees latitude or 40 degrees longitude are filtered out from the feed. So far it's working for me, so I hope someone will find it useful too. Usage is described in project page, and is mostly simple. You get a link to history RSS feed from openstreetmaps site (something like http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changesets/feed?bbox=2.28907%2C48.84799%2C2.32597%2C48.8644) and insert it into the only textbox on the page. First button will lead you to filtered feed, second button will show you feed to filtered feed. URL for filtered feed can be created manually, syntax is: http://positron96.appspot.com/osmfilter.rss?feed= Any comments, suggestions and reports are highly appreciated.

Suddenly, your English becomes better once your trolling becomes successful and people start to oppose you directly.

So far, all we know to expect from you is 1) challenges to the existing import policy, 2) really bad imitations of German typos, and 3) an attempt to rewrite the import policy presumably more in line with how you think it should work. You're trying to game the process of doing imports. I suggest that you will make more friends and fewer enemies if you 1) admit that you're really a long-term OSM editor, 2) quit pretending that you're trying to comply with a system you obviously think is broken, and 3) tell us how you think it's broken and how you think it should be fixed. Because, really, this misdirection is getting tiresome.

I think that the people who wish that the USA had been mapped just like Europe have NO IDEA how big the USA is, nor how empty it is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton_County,_New_York It is comparable in size to Fiji, Kuwait, Slovenia, or Israel, but only 5,000 people live there. There is only one diesel station in the entire county. -- --my blog is athttp://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
