Re: [Talk-gb-london] Update on TfL CID conflation plans

[Russ Garrett]

If these edits are going ahead then I think the wiki page should list
the usernames which are performing these edits. The OSM user page
should also have a description linking back to that page.

Re: [Talk-gb-london] Anyone up for the task of mapping the new Lambeth electoral ward boundaries?

[Russ Garrett]

My controversial opinion is that these shouldn't be in OSM.

The definitive boundaries are freely available as open data in OS
Boundary Line (although they won't usually appear there until after
the boundaries take effect). The current UK-wide coverage of ward
boundaries in OSM is pretty minimal, although it looks like most of
the old Lambeth wards are in OSM:

http://overpass-turbo.eu/?q=W291dDpqc29uXVt0aW1lxIHEgzI1XTsKKAogIG53clsiYsSBbmRhcnkiPSJwb2xpxItjYWwixInEqMSqxKxpxK5sX2RpdmlzacSHxKYid8SjZMSxKHt7YsSfeH19KcSUxY8KxI8gxJ9kecSUPsSUxZNza2VsIHF0Ow=BJp6-ioHTL

As someone who uses this boundary data relatively frequently, there's
no reason why I should use OSM when the data is incomplete, and
boundaries in OSM may have been altered (accidentally or otherwise).
They're not surveyable, the data is freely available elsewhere - I
don't see why it's worth spending our time making sure it's replicated
in OSM.

Cheers,

Russ
