I've been watching edits come in today and I see good work being done
on interstates, especially in the LA area. It isn't the most fun work
to do so thanks to everyone who is pitching in. I ended up finishing
the cleanup on I-105. It's just a short one so that's not really a
huge feat.

Eric,
Thanks for the info.
I might be mistaken, but I recall looking at the public crowd
sourcing pilot. I noticed that a lot of edits submitted by the
public were sourced from copyright or license restricted sources.
There were comments from contributors like per Google or per
yellowpages.com.

This unfortunately falls short. I find that you need to check the FCode

there are regional variations in how FCodes are used.
But I'm not *doing* 3 different parts of the country.
How did it go?
I ran a meetup in Salt Lake[1] on Saturday and we had six people, two
new to OSM. We talked about mapping priorities, the effects of the
license change (we have a decliner in the area who has been very
active in the past), and went out mapping downtown businesses. It was
fun, and

In a typical mapping party, I bring GPS devices and walking papers.
The GPS devices are not so useful in urban areas, for two reasons:
reduced accuracy because of buildings, and street network already in
place. I use the traces exclusively to georeference images from my
digital camera.

Martijn all,
I rather like the samples you gave:

They are simple, straightforward, and unambiguous. (The pattern could
also be extended to other boundary types.)
