Hello everyone,
Is the plan for tomorrow (Friday) still to meet here?

I agree that it's a real issue. It's a pain assigning all the short ways to

information along a route (ie the number of tracks on a railway). However,

Hi,
By coincidence I discovered a recently and unjustly deleted node:

You can ignore this. My mail client was acting on me. I missed some

on top of that!

Hi,
I've had the same type of error on the two occassions I've tried to load an
osm file. The error is:
Error allocating nodes.
Error occurred, cleaning up.
There is no data at all, loaded into the database.
Does anyone know the cause of these errors and how to fix them?
Thanks,
John

I am playing with rendering paper maps, in the process I limit the data to
a particular area using osmosis with a --bounding-polygon using this type
of polygon:

Is there a way to convert the same polygon in to an OSM way so that
It's very straightforward. Just needs a program to take the one file
format and turn it into a different file format. Just create a bunch
of new nodes, connect them together with a way, then add the
appropriate metadata for your renderer. Number the nodes and ways
with negative numbers.
