Maybe you know this two wikisites:

   - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Life_Long_Learning_Mapping_Project
   - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MychOSM

You will find some material on both sides.

Bit of a chicken and egg problem; directionally split speed limits seem to
be relatively limited to the high plains and Rocky Mountain areas so it's
something that's probably going to need to be mapped more extensively
first.  Also a factor being that a lot of apps are favoring traffic
integration rather than speed limits or omits them for no reason even
though it's in the data, even when they are easily decipherable (no
maxspeed:variable=school/signals or maxspeed:forward/backward) for like, no
reason.

Personally, I find this trend undesirable, since the herd mentality tends
to cause speed creep; anybody who's been on a busy freeway and driving
something incapable of exceeding the speed limit or just takes great pride
in driving like they learned how can probably relate.

[OSM-talk] School project Ghana

2016-07-05 Thread Alert Bouterse
Dear friends,

Open Street Maps Ghana is looking for educational material like (prinable /
ofline) workbooks to educate children on JHS and SHS schools. Aim is to
educat children about the imporance of having a good street map and spread
the knowligde of mapping in Ghana. Doesanybody know if such educational
material is availeble (outside the online tutorials on the wiki,that are
often are not suiteble for children is the age group of JHS an SHS.

Hope to hear your reactions soon.

Thanks Paul.

There's a lot of split speed limits here in the valley (Arizona.) I've
worked hard mapping quite a few. Would love for more services to show them.

I know that Osmand will as I've seen it come up on some odd edge cases
where sign placement is weird (normally Oklahoma doesn't do these split
limits unless it's not feasible to signpost the limits in the same spot
both directions).  Someone up towards Colorado should have more exact
information, as split limits are routine in that state.

I came across suspicions emails that were "supposedly" from these

"A joe job is a spamming technique that sends out unsolicited e-mails 
using spoofed sender data. Early joe jobs aimed at tarnishing the 
reputation of the apparent sender or inducing the recipients to take 
action against them (see also e-mail spoofing), but they are now 
typically used by commercial spammers to conceal the true origin of 
their messages"


Most probably spammers who have been harvesting mailing lists in bulk.
