Re: [talk-au] Brisbane City Bike Racks
I now see the public dataset is only 100 bike racks in the cbd. I plan on requesting other data later, as I see council owned maps showing more racks, but I can easily visit all of these on bike in a day, so I might start with the "" full "" dataset.

Re: [talk-au] Brisbane City Bike Racks
Sure, James. Welcome to OSM. I would find another (preferably local, though you could go statewide or national) more-seasoned OSM user to help you "best interpret" our Import Guidelines. A lot of new users get both enthusiastic (especially about a reasonably "bite-sized" import, like yours) and somewhat "tripped up" with these Guidelines, often stumbling or getting discouraged, and we don't want that. It might be those Guidelines could use some additional tuning up, but they are what we have for now, and someone gently holding your hand as you "interpret" them seems it would help or even be best. Besides, reaching out to the greater community (as you have to talk-au just now: noice!) is part of OSM, so getting into that habit early is a good one! Tenet number 2 of OSM: (after #1, "Don't copy from other maps") Have fun! stevea California, USA > On Jan 30, 2023, at 7:38 PM, James via Talk-au > wrote: > > Hi All, > > I'm relatively new at OSM and wanted to map the bike racks in Brisbane, of > which I am a resident.

[talk-au] Brisbane City Bike Racks
Hi All, I'm relatively new at OSM and wanted to map the bike racks in Brisbane, of which I am a resident. A few members on the osm discord graciously pointed out the data is available at https://www.data.brisbane.qld.gov.au/data/dataset/bicycle-racks, is under CC BY 4.0, and there is a waiver to OSM https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:BCC_OSM_Waiver_-_Signed_30Aug2018.pdf. I have read the import guidelines, and I'm prepared to spend a lot of time making sure there are no duplicates and making sure the locations match up with the map. Does anyone have anything they'd like to add, any advice, or any reasons I shouldn't go ahead with this? Thanks, James___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
