I've worked with those centerlines, and I think that they are the same file 
that the county provided to TIGER last time around which was already imported 
into OSM a few years back. It's already been very well improved upon.

HOWEVER, the address points data file is fully legit and I have a lot of 
personal experience working with it and OSM together. Nothing public so far but 
I'd be willing to chat about it here if I can remember the code I wrote last 
year. =)

The parallel ways is an approximation of the address points, so if you
have the points, use them IMO.  I've imported some of both in Europe,
but I surveyed some addresses in San Francisco too and put them on the
buildings where possible.

[Talk-us] Reminder: Geobus call tomorrow

2010-09-01 Thread Serge Wroclawski
Hey all,

Just a quick reminder that there's a Geobus call tomorrow night at 8pm.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GeoBus

Unfortunately a personal issue that has come up and I won't be
available tomorrow, but the Geobus is a really cool project and I
think we can really make this happen.

- Serge
