Copying issues over to github does not help get them "fixed". I know
there are issues in trac, and I'll get to them later, since new
features are not the current priority.

If people want to help, without writing any stylesheets, then at least
curating the tickets on trac would help. The very first on on the list
(#4436) has got nothing to do with the stylesheets, for example.

Thanks,
Andy

That is step 3 on the roadmap described on the openstreetmap-carto repo:

https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto#tackle-the-backlog-v3x

I am appreciate that the "patches welcome" response is not tremendously
positive, but, culling issues from trac and transferring them over to the
github issue tracker would be a quick and easy way to help getting the
issues you care about fixed.

Craig

There are already 439 open tickets in the OSM trac system for mapnik
rendering:

https://trac.openstreetmap.org/query?status=!closed&component=mapnik

I would hope that whoever might fix the bugs in the rendering
stylesheet would start with those rather than discard all of them and
start with a new bug list on github.

I would look at adding an Issue to the github project:
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto

[Talk-GB] Wish LIst for Mapnik Stylesheet (overmapping of private features)

2013-09-07 Thread OpenStreetmap HADW
Is there a mechanism for getting requests onto the wish list for the
Open Street Map Mapnk style sheets?

The particular issue is that now that people can trace quite small
features, some areas are getting overloaded with private foot paths
and private car parks (not to mention alleys and driveways),
particularly where apartment blocks are involved.  These make it
difficult to find public ones and pollute the landuse colouring.

I've added a comment to the access Wiki page, but comments on wiki
pages don't seem to get looked at.  What I'd like to do is to get onto
the wish list that private features like this should require a higher
zoom level, before they render, than equivalent public ones. (A thin,
dotted footpath can be difficult to spot in a sea of dashed ping
lines.

(A secondary problem is that people map these all with no access
restriction, or name them Private, but that can be fixed in the source
data without destroying information - the only problem is that it
needs verifying on the ground, whereas they can map, particularly car
parks, from aerial imagery.)
