[OSM-talk] i think we need to reach more mappers making the mapping real fun
Here is very good inspiration http://soutschek.com/2009/11/28/waze-map-data-collection-with-an-exploration-game-approach/ I doubt they build better map than OSM by this, but I like the spirit. Something lie this could be used to collect POI's or enhance badly mapped parts of the map. Jakub ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

[OSM-talk] [tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Region
Hello,
I welcome all people interested proposal of very nice and usefull
proposal, which would cover many case s when we need to represent
hierarchies on the map of any kind (geographical areas, religional
districts, administrative territories, zip codes, ...).
After many discussion I think that the Region proposal on
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Region is ready to
be Proposed.
Therefore I send this Request For Comments.
Thanks for your comments, ideas and contributions
Jakub Tesinsky

[OSM-talk] Good practices violated?
I do not want to sound too radical, but it is quite astonishing, how *Good practices <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice> can sometime radically differ from apparently widely accepted and even promoted usage.* Let me point out an example of what I mean, but I beleive that the problem is much wider than this particular case: *Countries on nodes vs areas vs relations* On one hand there is a: * widely used practice to map country *both as node and relation* (and sometimes area) * suggestion that the place=country should be placed on node see Place <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Place> * suggestion that Key:place <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place> should be used on node or area (relation not mentioned) * suggestion to and on the other hand there is a: * PrincipleDon't map for the renderer <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer>- which is clearly violated by tagging node as a country, because country is not a node and in fact this node is only ment for renderer (supported by giving this node a label role in country relation) * Principle One feature, one OSM element <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element> - which is clearly violated by fact that the tags are repeated both on node and realtion (or area). This practice is not only used it is also encouraged by wiki pages. Now, please do not get me wrong, I might be wrong and there might be some reason for that. If there is one, I would like to correct the documentation and rewrite Good practices (or list exceptions to them). If there is no reason I would like to clan up the data, but surely there should be some consensus on that and the consensus should be very well documented so there is not confusion in the future. Thanks for help Jakub PS: I beleive that this problem is much more general, it is also true with all sorts of regions, cities and villages. Names are rendered two or three times and is not good at all. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] reCaptcha on wiki
Hi guys, Usually I only read the forum and do the mapping, but I have question now. Can you please direct me to correct person / place / communication channel, where I can ask about possibly switching from recaptcha on wiki to another spam protection system - especially for logged in long term contributors? I have detailed arguments for the case, but I do not want to bother the forum and/or enter any "religious" discussions ;-) All the best Jakub ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] Submitting POI to OSM made easy
* On the position screen, dragging the marker is more intuitive than clicking to set position. I do not agree with this. ON toughscreen the dragdrop is less intuitive and sometimes very unusable. Please reserve dragdrop for moving the map around as is usually done on handhelds. PS: However your idea is great, thanks ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] Multilingual maps demo
that is great! Bugreport: on http://mlm.jochentopf.com/?zoom=16&lat=50.09317&lon=14.34431&layers=B0T&lang=cs|ru you can see lot of empty labels like _() ...

A demo of the system is now available at http://mlm.jochentopf.com/ nice result. Still in Thailand and probably the neighboring countries as well the font size is so small that it's hard to read all labels. Using a vector font instead of bitmap fonts might improve it as well. In the past someone suggested to create an OSM font containing all vector glyphs into one font. Not sure if this could solve the problem with the size as well. Stephan -- Jakub A.
