Hi
I shouldn't really post in the beginning-to-middle of my festive
intoxication, but it appears Slashdot has a new article relevant to OSM.
Loving the separate wording:
"Smooth Open Street Maps For the IPhone" =>
http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/12/24/2324235
Cheers

Excellent work! Congratulations to those involved!
Hope my partial completeness of some bits hasn't confused anyone.
Noticed a cul-de-sac missing which I'll report of OpenStreetBugs.
I suppose that's the next stage: getting people to reports errors and
improving upon what's there.

It’s up to Google to do that, we can’t speak for them.

Hi denny
I had a second look at the documentation and I now understand how Semantic
MediaWiki can help us.
Assume map features were described by three attributes: a key, a value and a
description, like
{MapFeature key="foo" value="bar" description="desc"}
Then we would create a Wiki page

How about we use the length of the Wikipedia article about a city to
decide which should get rendered on OpenStreetMap?
We could add a tag to each city with the Wikipedia article URL.
Here are some figures for the Bay Area:
San Francisco: 119958
Oakland: 113560
San Jose: 84823
Mountain View: 261
hi,
apologies if this has been brought up before, but some people I have brought
into OSM have stumbled across this site:

and were all set to pollute the OSM database when I stopped them. Can we not
convince this gentleman to cease and desist?

hi,
somehow the 'bed' symbol for hotels looks like a hospital bed to me - most
uninviting. Could we change it? This is in osmarender.
