Thanks Liz, that'd be great. I'll bet a virtual $5.00 that there will still be no signposts but maybe you can find some corroborating evidence that I've missed. For some reason the two down near the river ( maybe-Warrambaluah and maybe-riley) have always irked me to be still unamed in OSM. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Still waiting on some discussion, in the end I just updated the Aussie tagging guidelines based on what some other mappers were doing: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#How_can_I_tag_streets_with_missing_signs.2Fno_names.3F ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
[talk-au] Mapping a blank spot
Dear Liz, You said in a recent post to a list that you had mapped what was once a blank spot on the map. Have you seen the OSM History animations from GeoFabrik? http://www.geofabrik.de/gallery/history/index.html If the area that you mapped is not in a current animation, you might ask them to add it. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

[talk-au] Looking for participants to test OSM-based audio street maps
Dear all Apologies for cross-posting. As part of my Master's project at Queen Mary, University of London, I'm looking for participants to take part in a game centred on wayfinding challenges in urban audio maps. The game should take no longer than 20 minutes to complete and there will be a prize draw with a total of ten £10 Amazon vouchers (or the international equivalent) to be won. To play the game, please download the installer from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/team/ It should install without problems on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit). After you have installed and started TEAM, press Ctrl+Enter to play. For a screenshot and further information, see the project website, http://team.sourceforge.net. The game has been designed with accessibility in mind, so blind and partially sighted participants are very much encouraged to take part. I'd be delighted if you'd be happy to play the game. If you have any questions about the game or the research on which it is based, please don't hesitate to contact me. With kind regards, Esther ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Because our Council uses surnames of people to name the roads, others with the same surname steal them. My road has no roadsigns at present - all disappeared the same night. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

To do this properly, you need a complete copy of the DB dump which included all history made last year, and then you need to basically parse that file to make sure to only include data prior to the step before you made changes, or just to exclude it entirely if you made the first edit. Not something for the faint of heart... ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
