[OSM-talk] Key Proposal wheelchair:toilet
Hi everyone, we at wheelmap.org want to take our service to the next level by tagging public places wether there is an wheelchair accessible toilet or not. To start the discussion we prepared an key proposal: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/wheelchair:toilet Please let us know what you think about it. Cheers, Christoph ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2013 08:40:13 -0400 From: Alex Barth a...@mapbox.com To: Talk talk@openstreetmap.org Subject: [OSM-talk] RFC updated: OSM Attribution Mark (was: contributor mark) Message-ID: cabxuzdsnybv7e8qehyahmpao4ojyzsimzhv+bsgg1b9eh-r...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Hello everyone - I'd love to start pushing again on the OSM attribution mark. Just keep walking, persistence paid off. That's what we learned at SotM Japan. ;) This is an updated proposal based on an initial RFC from earlier this year titled Contributor Mark [1, 2]. Sorry for the delay in following up with adjustments based on feedback on the original thread. Again, the goal of this proposal is to draw more attention to OpenStreetMap wherever it's used by introducing a visually compelling, linked symbol for placement on OSM-based works and by explaining OpenStreetMap better at the place where this symbol links to. Looking forward to your feedback. I'll also be reaching out to corresponding working groups and OSMF to see how we can move this forward. Concretely, this RFC proposes 1. Replace current credit ? OpenStreetMap Contributors with a visual mark where possible 2. Update `openstreetmap.org/copyright` to explain better OSM, to invite visitors to join and to allow creators of derivative work to link back to their sites. The update to the original RFC brings 4 key changes: 1. Rename the proposal from 'Contributor Mark' to 'Attribution Mark' 2. A completely redesigned mark, containing the letters OSM Nice one. The new mark makes symbolizes a map and the OSM very clearly. I like. 3. A completely redesigned `/copyright` page, the page the mark links to. I like the image idea because it shows people having fun while mapping. Instead of the mostly boring legal part. It is much closer to today's `/copyright` For all non-web citizens: It could be hard to guess, that there is more text below the fold. It might be clever to put the text a bit more to the center to show at at least the beginning lines of the text. Or a bouncing icons shouting: SCROLL :) 4. The mark is an alternative to ? OpenStreetMap Contributors. Only where the mark can't be used, ? OpenStreetMap Contributors may be used. To spread the whole thing quickly and convieniently it might be a good idea to provide OL.js, Leaflet.js and mapbox.hs plugins. Please read up on all details on the newly created RFC page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/RFC_Attribution_Mark Also take a look at the repository containing artwork and code: https://github.com/osmlab/attribution-mark Thx for your work, we at wheelmap are definitively on it.

[OSM-talk] Disappearing nodes from wheelmap.org
Hi, i'm the developer of wheelmap.org - a osm based map for wheelchair accessible places. The OSM contains about 415.000 places with this tag. We prepared a dashboard with a few major cities (mostly in Germany) and the amount of wheelchair tagged places:https://metrics.librato.com/share/dashboards/3wf885ot?duration=2415600 Today i had a look at the last 4 weeks and saw a reduction of the amount of tagged nodes/ways. This made me think, because the over all number is constantly increasing. I suspect that a tagging scheme has been changed and i am not aware of it. Can someone help me to find out, what is going on? Or am i wrong? Thx, Christoph ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

If so, one reason could be the change from poi nodes to better poi areas. Thanks to Frederik Ramm we also support ways for more than a year now. My first guess was that there was something wrong on our servers. But everything works fine. That's why i think there a conversion from one tag to another going on. As it is happening all over the world this might be something with public transport. But i couldn't figure out which. For example: Previously tagged node of a restaurant is replaced by a more complex way. This way represents the whole restaurant building and is of course tagged with the wheelchair-key. Next question: Could you show the best entrance to a restaurant, if one is accessible by a wheelchair and the second one not? No, we don't. Is this a feature request? ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
