[OSM-talk] Three-months ban is over

Browsing https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Xxzme==500=Xxzme (500 edits in 4 days!), you can find some interesting things. Xxzme moved page User:Ajoessen/Mapnik to DE:Ajoessen/Mapnik: guessing language (moved a user page to a public namespace?) Xxzme

[OSM-talk] Please ban Xxzme in wiki

Hi, Who banned Xxzme in wiki a while ago? Please do it again. Not only he abuses mappers, in part by deleting parts of their pages in private namespaces, he also renames and/or modifies in a bad way wiki pages that many mappers link to. E.g. there is no How we map page now. This is not his

[OSM-talk] Warning: OSM password phishing

Hi, one of our users by mistake logged in on another site: http://www.reidel.me/index.php It looks like the OSM forum and mirrors it nearly in real time. Please be careful and check the address bar before typing a password. (Of course it can be an alternative URL for our forum, since it

Re: [Talk-pt] Mapeador visitando Portugal dia 7 e 8

Thanks, Nelson and Rui. The podcast will be recorded today on 20:00. I usually talk with guests via Skype, so one doesn't need to physically be in Porto :) For now it seems we'll be discussing Portugal with our Russian friends. As for the meeting, since nobody in is Porto, I suggest January

[OSM-talk] Tiles and geocoding

Hi, Just this morning I've done the final todo in the polytiles script: now it produces tiles 10 times faster, because it renders them in metatiles. Also MBTiles writer now supports multiprocessing, so it's also 6-8 times more speed. If you need a lot of tiles, do not download them from osm.org

Re: [OSM-talk] Nik4: mapnik → image

Today I have published Nik4. It makes everything easier. I see that it can split a large image into smaller mapnik rendering jobs and combine them after, with --tiles. That's already very useful but is it also possible to actually keep the tiles (e.g. for building a GDAL VRT from them)? This

[OSM-talk] Achavi + WhoDidIt

Hi! Roland, thanks for Overpass attic feature, and thanks to Norbert for Achavi, especially for changeset visualizing feature. I've just added links to Achavi from WhoDidIt RSS feed and popups, so you can easily check what's been modified. Also there is a bookmarklet in this shtosm article:

[OSM-talk] Level0 Updates

Hi! Jochen's work on Taginfo encouraged me to work on Level0's github issues, and today I'm releasing version 1.1 of the editor. The major (well…) change is that whitespace trimmed from keys and values is now registered as modification. For example, a downloaded object with name key will be

Ilya, a big thank you! This looks convenient and promising, am waiting now for the second output, the first one, created like this: nik4.py -b 5.8 35.5 19 48.1 --ppi 300 --size-px 28108 36000 osm-render.xml italiabig300dpi.png didn't work like expected (I got a tiny map in the upper left

[OSM-talk] Nik4: mapnik → image

Hi! I recently needed to create a big georeferenced image from a mapnik style file, and found out no image exporting tool currently offers more than a direct interface to mapnik's options. That is, I could not get image in 300 dpi for printing on an A5 sheet, I had to understand what
