Where do we draw the line?

Nice idea, but I really wouldn't want to see OSM data polluted /
innaccurate. It would set a precedent. Unless of course we force that user
to stay on that street (then we would just be mapping what we see on the
ground):P

Thanks Harald!
I just saw this email now, and looking at the map, this will help fix a lot of
errors in South Africa (and elsewhere of course)! This is just what we needed.

I'm in South Africa... and it defaults to the UK for me. Obviously if
I return to the site, then the cookie kicks in and the map shows me
the last vie
I agree with Martin. It would be nice to keep the map prominent on the
home page... but add more interactivity. Permalinks with markers would
be a big advantage as it would make the map more functional without
adding too much overhead. When I want to point something out to
someone, I send the URL o

I have to say i'm siding with those in favour of validation as well.
Not for everything, but at the very least some kind of "spell
checking" utility when uploading from the editors. I've seen a number
of spelling mistakes when "residential" was clearly the intended tag
value. I have nearly uploade

I think this was a little harsh. When i'm working on a project, I

Hey all
Would anyone here be able to point me in the right direction for
extracting data per country? I have all the data in a local database,
and I am trying to figure out what the best approach is.

I would ask what their license is on this data (if there is one), or
if it is in the public domain. Perhaps explain that the project would
allow others to use the data as well.
This sounds like a great idea. I might try this in Cape Town. Let me
know how this turns out.

If people want to reverse engineer it... that's fine:P I'm not sure
it's worth the effort as the files won't have anything extra in them.
They're just wasting time and effort that they could be putting
