[Talk-GB] Welcome Sign

2016-01-29 Thread Paul Berry
Is there a tag for welcome signs, such as at the entrances/exits to/from
villages on main roads, crossing national, county or district boundaries,
or at other places?

I'm guessing it's traffic_sign=city_limit even if these aren't always found
at the actual boundaries of places.

Thanks in advance

Regards,
*Paul*

[Talk-GB] Redraft of objectives for OSMUK

2016-01-29 Thread Brian Prangle
Hi everyone

3rd draft following this week's concall

1.To increase the quality and quantity of data about the UK in
OpenStreetMap.

2.To increase the size, skills, toolsets and cohesion of the OpenStreetMap
community of data contributors and editors in the UK.

2.To promote and facilitate the use of OpenStreetMap data by individuals
and organisations in the UK.

3.To promote and facilitate the release by organisations in the UK of
OpenData  that is suitable for use in OpenStreetMap.


I think I've included the gist of the discussion

@Rob - this really needs to go in the wiki but I'm not really proficient at
wiki editing
Also should I be using either or both of the  other two mailing lists
(Announce, Initial Working Group)?

Regards

Brian

Will take my laptop so I can demonstrate adding a school with iD.

What's the potential to get these crown-copyright-expired maps as an OSM
layer, for tracing?
