Re: [talk-au] Time to grow up...
The funny thing is, I've used JOSM since I started. I'm too scared to touch Potlatch - I like to be able to review my work before I save it.

Re: [talk-au] Time to grow up...
The error message which is significant is the overlapping ways message for the runway. I have seen this on occasion, but do not know why it happens. Note that there are arrows on both ends of the runway and if you select the overlapping ways error, only one set of nodes appear. There are two ways between the same two nodes. To fix this add a node near the centre of the way and then shift this node and you should get a triangle. Select the node you created. While holding shift, select one of the end nodes and then type p. Select the way between these two nodes and delete the way. Select your new node and delete it. In regards to the overlapping areas, caused by common area boundaries I usually ignore them.(you can select each validation message and then click "ignore". Then you will not see the message again). When better images become available it is much easier to adjust shared boundaries if they use the same nodes,. Note that for city areas such as parks, I draw the boundaries inside the surrounding roads. After all there is usually a footpath between the park and the road.

I bet you thought I was about to wade into the roundabouts discussion... Nope. Sorry. Basically, I've been potlatching to my hearts content for the last 18 months, and it's served me well. But the time has come to learn how to use JOSM... I'm a big boy now, and this will be like the move from writing in pencil to getting my pen "license" when I was in grade 2... Anyway, I've been playing around in JOSM, and I've made some changes, and uploaded them, but it was giving me warnings or something about overlapped areas. I couldn't see anything I'd screwed up too badly, but was wondering if anyone with more JOSM experience than myself (so you'd need at least 43 mins of JOSM expererience to fulfull the requirement), could cast a quick eye over what I just did, and make sure I haven't cocked it up too bad. I've added a bunch of beaches to Great Keppel Island, and tried to attach them to the costal boundaries correctly (the first potlatch attempt wasn't great).
