[talk-au] Direction of flow, rivers and streams

2010-07-27 Thread John Henderson
I note the wiki says that "Direction of the way should be downstream." Most streams I look at on OSM have been drawn uphill, and I've been reversing the direction of ones I notice as wrong. Indeed, I find it more natural to draw streams that way myself, and then reverse them. This is just to

If there's a way tagged: highway=residential name=Leigh Street source=survey And the positioning is obviously sub-standard (such as a single node for a 90 degree turn, where the street actually curves with a radius of 10 to 20 metres), I would add, say, 4 more nodes to approximate the

[talk-au] tagging the source of edits

2010-07-27 Thread Andrew Harvey
I have some questions about using the source tag. If an existing way was marked as source:yahoo, but I made some minor alterations from nearmap imagery what should I do to the source? Should I leave it as source:yahoo and add source:nearmap to the changeset? Or should I change the source:yahoo to
