[OSM-talk] NOTICE: Tile Servers is very slow

Talk, The OpenStreetMap map tile server (mapnik layer) will be very slow for the next 24 hours. [1] Edits to the map will only show up in a few days time for these tiles, but not to worry there are other "minutely" OSM tile providers available to view your edits. To name a few: - http://open.ma

Re: [OSM-talk] Tagging of a large slab of concrete with many bus routes going over it

The Mapnik rendering is not perfect, and one of its imperfections is its over-display of one-way arrows. That's a problem for the renderer to fix, I'm afraid. I think you always need ways, even if they are covered by an area, so your approach strikes me as just fine. Richard On Mon, Oct 4, 2010

[OSM-legal-talk] Voluntary re-licansing and CT 1.1

Some of us have pressed a button and accepted contributor terms v. 1.0. However, there seems to be a draft for version 1.1 https://docs.google.com/View?id=dd9g3qjp_81272pvt54 Does it mean that the voluntary re-licensing campaign is chiefly an exercise and everybody will need to accept version 1.1
