[Talk-us] An editathon in your city!

Quick reminder: As you head into a short first July week, think about hosting an editathon on one or both days of the weekend of July 20 to 21. If you're in, get your city up fast, even if you don't have all the details yet. Thank you! http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/US_Summer_Editathon_2013

[Talk-us] Bridge naming

Hi all, Thinking about bridge naming. Usually, a bridge will just have the same name as the ways surrounding it. In those cases, the name= tag on the bridge should just be the same as the name= tag on the connecting ways, right? Here's an example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/172208150

Re: [Talk-us] Bridge naming

I think it makes perfect sense to separate it into name=* and bridge:name=* tags. The bridge:name=* currently isn't rendered, but theoretically, it could be rendered differently and in a more appropriate/eye-catching way than name=*. This leaves the case though, what if a bridge doesn't carry a str

Re: [Talk-us] Mappy Hour

Steve, I understand your concern, believe me, I do. I too want public OSM events to be as inclusive as possible. We were actually just talking about alternatives during the mappy hour (for different reasons) and the conclusion for now was that there is not a mature alternative available yet that

[Talk-us] Update on highway shield rendering

For those interested in highway shields: Phil, Ian and myself put some more time in on getting shields working on the OSM-US server last week. We actually got things mostly working but did run into a brick wall. Unfortunately postgres 8.4 doesn't support how the image data is being handled. The fi

Re: [Talk-us] Update on highway shield rendering

Thanks for the update, Toby. I am definitely excited about this. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help move this forward! On Mon, Jul 1, 2013 at 8:19 PM, Toby Murray wrote: > For those interested in highway shields: > > Phil, Ian and myself put some more time in on getting shields wo

Re: [Talk-us] Update on highway shield rendering

+1 to Martijn's excitement: I, too, find this a neat and appropriate front for the us-servers to be serving up specific tiles about. Good luck getting postgres technical glitches ironed out! While it sounds like Ian & Co. have your hands full, another "neat and appropriate front" which I bel

Re: [Talk-us] Update on highway shield rendering

This actually came up when we were talking about the shields last week. The shields rendering is actually a full mapnik stylesheet, not just an overlay. Phil pointed out that this is the only way to avoid conflicts. So it is essentially a full osm.org mapnik stylesheet (from a few months ago but it
