If the whole issue is optimizing search results, lets just create an
"Archive" namespace that is not included in search by default. Moving to
archive is different from deleting because only admins can see deleted
content.

I agree with Christoph -- every tag used in OSM data must be documented --
otherwise it has near-zero value.. Actually negative value because it
confuses people -- some might want to delete it, but they don't know if it
is useful, so they just leave it there almost indefinitely.
In an ideal world
You can use Sophox to pull this type of information, possibly just not all
at once.
Here's a query that will give you all first level country sub-divisions
(Canada in this case), as well as each province's Captial, Flag image, and
ISO codes.

Also, fully accurate data is a myth, even if we only have 1%
completeness. Once data is beyond a certain size, it is guaranteed to be
wrong, simply because humans always make mistakes and things always become
outdated. We can only discuss how close we are to the ideal "perfect
accuracy", and what
Let me get this straight:
* I create a dataset from public data sources, e.g. a list of roads, and
publish it under the Public Domain dedication (i.e. CC0). (I agree that
MIT is weird here).
* Afterwards, I make a subset of my original data by removing any roads I
found elsewhere, e.g. in a

Stevea, I think this discussion mixes two topics, as Martin pointed out:
* I want to be credited for my work (i.e. you couldn't have done it without
me, just say so)
* I want to control what you do with the results of my work (i.e. you must
not kill baby seals using the map I created)

I would love to fully transition to data items, as it would make

We now have a data item editor you can enable by going to preferences /
gadgets, and enabling it.

For those who download OSM data regularly, there is now a simple way to
reduce the load on the primary OSM servers, while also making download much
faster and ensure the data is correct.
OpenMapTiles new tool downloads the planet from all mirrors in parallel. It
usually takes just a few minutes,
The news mentions that downloads from Planet OSM are currently rate limited
to 400 kB/s and suggest to use mirrors, but does not mention the related
announcement about the new tool to simplify such downloads. I think it will
help anyone downloading, and it might be worth including in the next
Andy, two major reasons:
* Anyone working on an evolving project like OpenMapTiles would attest that
the import schema constantly changes. Every time schema changes, one needs
to download newest planet, import it based on the new schema, and run diffs
from that point.
* Automation / easy
Andy, I agree that being frugal with bandwidth is important. Yet, there is
a significant operations cost involved here, that I suspect very few will
actually be willing to spend, unless it is made trivial -- the cost of
setting up an independent planet file update pipeline - i.e. a docker image
Thanks Stevea, I really liked your examples. And thank you Mikel - I agree.
OSM already has substantial amount of non-physical but relevant information
(e.g. many IDs pointing to external registries), and as Stevea points out -
even naming for something local could be contradictory (e.g. two
something we need to document in OSM, but it highlights that language
is not homogeneous with naming and just makes a fun story :)

I am in favor of this or similar language. I think for a more vote-like

It is very strange that we, on one hand, allow anyone to create any kind of
tags (just type it in), and on the other we create so many hurdles to
document it (we refuse to allow a wiki page about an item, but instead
demand that each key page go through a proposals process, approve it,
etc). I
Christian, I would like to add torrent support to the download-osm tool
[1]. While I could try to scrape
https://osm.cquest.org/torrents/ , I would obviously rather use the
structured xml file (or if you could provide a JSON file, even better).
Proposed logic:

check your OSM settings. AFAIK, iD is the default editor.

I second Jóhannes -- every dataset, including OSM itself (hehe) has errors.
Consuming each additional dataset is a complex task -- each dataset has its
own structure and conventions, thus the fewer datasets one has to work
with, the better. The fundamental problem with 99.9% of the datasets

conformity is required for this type of project, and I do hope iD/JOSM/...

The Hetzner hardware gave up, and I have to rebuild it. Elastic (the

Either raise it or unset
Yep, that's probably because Tom has merged the settings change :)
