I'll try that: one presumes folks need to know how to setup local instances for testing, and that therefore someone has documented the process.

Hmmm. First find the editing program that you want your public to use. Then segregate your OSM base map from your scratchpad area for your planning. Then publish your reference works as they are created and discussed. As Richard Fairhurst said, you won't contribute that fictional data to OpenStreetMap. You can create your own OSM stack and run it locally. Or simply capture the .osm files locally. You could capture background images (responsibly please! no scraping.) then edit over them with graphics tools or even pen and paper. Publishing your works is simplest if you license your proposal maps CC-By-SA as your OSM base maps will be CC-By-SA. If not, include your licensing details as well as "Base map image © OpenStreetMap and Contributors CC-By-SA" with links for the OSM web site and CC-By-SA license page. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

OSM is for mapping real, verifiable locations, not hypotheticals. Rather, you should set up your own OSM install on your local server, and seed it with the existing OSM data. You can then use the usual tools to talk to this rather than to osm.org. There's lots of documentation on the wiki, or you can ask on the d...@openstreetmap.org list. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/mapping-hypotheticals-with-OSM-e-g-for-public-charrettes-tp6097707p6097812.html Sent from the General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] mapping hypotheticals with OSM, e.g., for public charrettes?
How best to use OSM to "map" non-existent features for planning purposes, e.g., for public charrettes? (Apologies if this is a FAQ, but a brief search of http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FAQ and of the lists via http://www.google.com/custom?sa=Google+Search&domains=lists.openstreetmap.org&sitesearch=lists.openstreetmap.org found nothing I wanted, which may be due to poor search terms.) The NC GIS list was just queried for > a Mapping Program that will allow users to map out specific places, > routes, and areas for such things as Planning Charrettes, Surveys, or > any other method of getting citizen's input more interactively? Another lister immediately suggested OSM, as do I, but I'm unsure how best to do prospective or hypothetical mapping.
