Colin, I think we should look at JOSM's validations as a good example of what is needed. For some validations, it extended MapCSS with its own custom quirks, and even added its own unit testing. For other types of validations (e.g. geometries), it seems to fall back to full code. Having a single

Really interesting conversation and tips here. My team at the GFDRR has been tiptoeing in this direction for a while. To date we’ve mostly been involved in one-off data creation projects that demonstrate OSM’s value the governments we work with and

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM for government

As suggested by Mikel, I created a wiki catalog page about the subject: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenStreetMapforGovernment It's just an outline, I'll try to add some stuff from this conversation over the following days; but you're welcome to do that first yourself :) I'm not quite

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM for government (joost schouppe)
