Re: [talk-au] Another tool for finding Poke-paths
I have made a changeset comment ... I hope they respond. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/45454430 My Comment is "The changeset comment "These places are important" is subjective. Far better to state something like "added park in my local area." I have added the playgrounds to these parks. I have also refined the boundary of Greenlow Park. I hope that is an improvement. The paths you have added are questionable ... particularly for the imagery used as that shows little evidence of the paths. The inner path of Walara Reserve does not connect to anything... and it should. Be aware that entries like yours are being examined for fictitious objects to attract Pokemon things .. Please state your source for the paths you have added."

Re: [talk-au] Residential Coordinates
Perhaps a good use for this kind of data would be a feed of *buildings not mapped* IE: - Grab data as you are doing or via a platform like morph.io - Overpass queries to find out if there is any building geometry at given coordinates - Produce an RSS feed or similar (Maproulette? To-fix?) I manually do something similar with planningalerts, to find buildings being demolished or built in my area. The rental information itself is probably better in a separate repo - its likely to change frequently with leases. A number of commercial data providers sell this kind of thing; so there's obviously some use for it... just perhaps not in OSM itself.

For OSM it would be far better to use the LIP Base map for the address data and then use the LPI Imagery for the building footprint. That aside and the scraping of the original data aside, would we even want properties currently for rent in OSM. Seems like it's best done as an external database to OSM? Any building can be added with the address data .. if it is for sale, rent does not matter. And I see benefit to OSM for having the address data within OSM. The attribute of 'rental' in OSM? I don't know, however I see no real reason why not to have it, only those concerned would be using that data. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
