I was hoping some more of my patches would be accepted by now and be filtering through however the devs of JOSM seem to be preoccupied with other things so if you want to try some of the new code I've written here is a quick how to on getting up running. Ok, I'm still using JOSM r1741 and this seems to be pretty stable, there is one release after this but I haven't upgraded to try it yet. http://josm.openstreetmap.de/download/josm-snapshot-1741.jar Also the copy of the validator.jar plugin that I built myself has a few more changes than has been applied against the trunk. http://sharebee.com/5e493b0f I'm not sure if my current plugin will work against 1669 or not, depends what other patches have been applied and I should try it I suppose. There is also the issue of the new wmsplugin not showing low res sat imagery from yahoo, if you want this you'll need to install the current plugin, exist from josm and then install the older copy: http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/editors/josm/dist/wmsplugin.jar?rev=15962 From there you need to edit josm preferences to update mirror_tagchecker.cfg to look something like this: http://maps.bigtincan.com/tagchecker.cfg And mirror_ignoretags.cfg to look something like this: http://maps.bigtincan.com/ignoretags.cfg And you'll be bleeding edge OSM'ing :) ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
[talk-au] Copyright and maps produced by states
Can anyone tell me when it comes to things like maps produced by various states, what ending year should I be looking at? For example a quick search of nla.gov.au brings up maps for various years for the King State Forest near Gympie in QLD. http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Search/Home?lookfor=author:%22Queensland.%20Dept.%20of%20Forestry%22iknowwhatimean=1 If I put in a request to have maps transferred to the local library, which ones would be legal to copy from? ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think I know, I'll use regular expressions. Now they have two problems. -- Jamie Zawinski in comp.emacs.xemacs The quote isn't quite true, but it's witty and something to keep in mind: regexes are hard to write right and even harder to read. I believe the \.? expression is more efficient than (|.), and I also think it's easier to read. -- Sam Couter | mailto:s...@couter.id.au OpenPGP fingerprint: A46B 9BB5 3148 7BEA 1F05 5BD5 8530 03AE DE89 C75C signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

[talk-au] A possible way to promote OSM
Tracing rivers and such on OSM gave me an idea for a possible way to promote OSM, geography students. I mean what better way to teach kids about geography than doing a little cartography :) ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
