The New York Times has not amended the article, so it still contains the
statement that:
The biggest problem with Apple’s map...is that much of its data appears to
be drawn from OpenStreetMap, a Wikipedia-like service that contains a lot of
incorrect and outdated information.

I was a bit surprised to see the second article:

which had quotes from myself buried in it!

What is the consensus on the legal status of an object that has been
created by a non-agreer, but all of the nodes and all of the tags have
been deleted/changed by agreers?
i.e.:
1) Non-agreer creates a way with tags 'name=A' and 'highway=tertiary',
and 3 nodes (with no tags).
2) An agreer
I don't really have any LEGAL opinion/knowledge to answer your question with,
but here is my experience:
When I first started remapping, I took your option 1 (delete the feature and
re-create it) because I felt that that option would ensure that no non-odbl
tainting could happen. I only added
I think I'm correct in saying that the visualisation tools can't tell that
you deleted a tag and recreated it, if the tag and it's value are the same.
So, you should add the odbl=clean tag.

Build 2.3-129 of Potlatch does seem to have fixed the inconsistencies that I
was seeing.

I don't really understand why this problem has not been fixed yet. Can anyone
help?!
I've sent a message to this list in the past, with no response and also sent
messages directly to various people who seem to understand why the problem
occurs and what the solution is, with no response.

Can someone tell me when a full rendering database reload of OSM will
happen? Or tell me who to contact to encourage them get it done soon.
Currently the rendering of places defined as areas/multipolygons is not
working correctly, as mentioned in this question (and many other

I am the person who reported the Nominatim search problem.
On the Nominatim bug:
If a user searches for xyz it should be able to return a node which is
tagged name=a_word|xyz|another_word (where | represents a word
separator). In English that word separator is a space char. In Japanese
there is
Everyone should probably just ignore what I wrote about the Nominatim
algorithm in my previous post, as I'm just guessing at what the problem
might be, and probably got it completely wrong!
Better to keep this thread restricted to the subject of is it valid to tag
names with postfixes, and have
Is the idea that this demo will become the 'official' OSM routing system?
From the intro post, I can't quite make out if it is going to appear on the
OSM home page, or it is a 'private' demo.
I know very little about the details/history of the various routing systems
that use OSM, and nothing of

Regarding your positive and negative points: I don't really think that any
of the +ve ones you list for Android are important for me, and I don't think
the -ve ones you list for the iPhone are important for me either!
Hope that helps!

Potlatch 1.0 seems to have broken the input of non-ASCII characters in
tags.
I'm running Potlatch inside the Safari browser on Mac OS X.
Before Potlatch 1.0 I could type in Japanese characters into the tags,
but now the Japanese hiragana and katakana entries in the Kotoeri
input menu are
correctly? Does it need more info?
PS: Is there a more appropriate place for question about the OSM
Mapnik slippy map appearance to be posted, or is the appropriate list?
