This is great! But which OSM components does this cover? I'm assuming this only covers the main OSM website (and the wiki indirectly since MediaWiki is already in TranslateWiki) but not Potlatch, and the other editors. On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 7:13 AM, Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason wrote: > The main O

One thing I see at that intersection is that where the roads split with the connector to 254, the southeastern link appears to be tagged wrong. If you start from the north, working south: A way named as carrying US 81, State 15 and State 96. Also relation named "135 south". Split with a co
