Re: [Talk-GB] Import Progress

So you decided that the Imports mailing list isn't useful and is too 20th Century for you. Don't you see how arrogant and disconnected you sound? An hour a week was spent in the provider's office, but not once was the process required by OSM to do imports mentioned? It may have been done by

Re: [Talk-GB] Import process

Looking at the data that has been imported, my first reaction is that some of the keys/values do look rather non-standard. This suggests to me that the process might have benefited from wider discussion. With the tree data, what jumps out is that every single tree has 'constituency' and

Hi, This was discussed at our monthly meeting, it was then shared to the appropriate local list [1] and a post about quality to Mappa Mercia blog [2]. Brian has also been meeting with the data suppliers on a regular basis (at times spending an hour a week with them) helping to develop a

Hi Chris, I don't think any of us are members of the import mailing list and I don't see the point of joining any more mailing lists. They represent an arcane 20th century solution that allows a few negative comments to derail a locally supported project. Mailing list posts drift off topic way

Hi Chris, To me the mess is with our wiki and mailing lists. Over the years I've spent considerable time in both and i find them to be death eaters that drain the energy from all ideas. I have a more positive vision of local empowerment with a place for local communities to share ideas with

Re: [Talk-GB] [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Import Progress

The problem with this is there are import guidelines which have been completely ignored. Was there an email and discussion in the Imports mailing list? Was there a wiki page to record and share the process? How were the tags chosen? What steps were taken to check the accuracy of the data

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Import Progress

Like all good OSM activity, discussion occurred in the pub. We may or may not have got our knickers in a twist when we did but usually we get the things sorted out. The Naptan and tree updates were discussed at length within our small west mids group and I was (and am) happy to support. Brian

[Talk-GB] StyleSheet for Outdoors Rendering

Hi, I haven't done much with OSM for a few years, so I think I will be behind the times, so wondered if someone could point me in the right direction please? I want to produce some large (A3 sized at least) printable maps for outdoors use. It is actually to show the route of a cross country
