Re: [OSM-talk-be] TEC & Open Data: let's start !

[André Pirard]

Hi, I announced that I had made an OSM file from which it is very easy to copy with JOSM (Edit>Merge Selection) TEC bus stops to the OSM map.  I said that there were problems to discuss, principally that the data contains no bus line numbers that municipality names are in uppercase and with spelling errors (no accents) Nobody replied. So that I finally put this file aside so that nobody would start tagging incomplete data. Julien published https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Mapping_resources/TEC I discovered my name in it, saying that I made an OSM file. Just that. As Julien says that he does not find interesting to hear problems reports repeated, I continued waiting. Then Jo got in contact with me and told me that he had made the same file as mine, but without lines. Then I found that in the above page, my name had been replaced with Polyglot without warning. Clearly, TEC is no longer my job. It is now Jo's job and I was glad to stop waiting. Jo wrote "I'm planning to convert the village names to normal capitalisation". Uppercasing is easy, but not correcting the spelling mistakes. I can try to do that. Just ask André. PS: I reported to SPW that the Géocatalogue (listing TEC's data) is perfectly empty; they forwarded the info. It happens to those who selected another language than French (in hope to see it round the corner).
