Hi folks,

I feel a bit disappointed with the power=portal tag, pretty widely used
in Germany for instance.

It seems to document start points of a power line in power substations.
Have a look :

There are only 18 of them in France, I thought it would be better to
don't use it. I don't even know if it's the right English term.
Nevertheless the idea of considering portals instead of standard towers
in substations sounds good.


How do you feel about this ?


I am not an expert on this, but I have never heard this described as a 
'portal'.
In English a portal is some sort of opening or entrance or hole, so it 
doesn't make much sense for part of a power line or a tower.


I'm not sure what the correct name for this is. I would suggest 
something like "termination tower" or maybe "terminator".

According to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:power%3Dtower such 
portal should be tagged power=tower + design=portal (if it indeed is a 
portal design with two or more legs). Further, if it is the termination 
point of a power line it should also be tagged tower:type=termination. I 
typically dont't tag internal portals in substations not connecting to 
an outgoing power line in order to avoid unnecessary cluttering.



Many substations are moved from sub_station to substation, it's a great
occasion to check this out too.



It would be really nice to have substations (without underscore) 
rendered in standard Mapnik. However, the style sheet maintainers seem 
to be reluctant to implement that. At least JOSM now support the new tag.

[OSM-talk] Default OSM Tiles via HTTPS (Testing)

2014-02-06 Thread Grant Slater
Hi OSM Talk,

Approximately 20% of visitors to OpenStreetMap.org today will receive
the default tiles via HTTPS (ssl/tls).

This is to test HTTPS on our CDN infrastructure.

If anyone experiences any problems please can you report them in
channel #osm on http://irc.openstreetmap.org/

Technical:
We use a dedicated wildcard *.tile.openstreetmap.org certificate
signed by RapidSSL/GeoTrust on the 12 geo distributed cache servers.
The SSL termination is handled by nginx. SSL Report:
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=a.tile.openstreetmap.org
Enabling SSL on tile is a step towards being able to offer HTTPS as an
option on openstreetmap.org for more than just the login page.

Kind regards,
 Grant
 Part of OpenStreetMap sysadmin team.
