Hi All, Over the last few weeks there has been a lot of effort made on remapping Coventry so that it remains in a reasonable state when we shift to the new license/contributor terms. If you can remember the amount of bad orange & red ways from a month ago, take a look on [1] to see the fantastic amount of work that has been done. We have had several users contributing, both in replacing v1 roads and generally taking the opportunity to improve the map (e.g. using Bing imagery).
I have recently focused on examining the history of many of the 'orange' status roads, and applying the odbl=clean tag when appropriate. Many of these roads were flagged as orange due to highway=unclassified being changed to highway=residential. As this is deemed a trivial edit (as it is clear from Bing which roads are residential), I have marked them as clean (this easily took longer than had I been the original mapper setting the residential tag as I had to examine the history of each way to check for other non-relicensable edits :-( ) I have (99%) completed this task now - Thus any objects still highlighted on [1] will likely need a ground survey as the non-compliant tags can not be determined from Bing. This includes: 1. Places of Worship (marked on OS StreetView but often requires a site visit for the name) 2. A couple of schools (as above) 3. Post Boxes 4. A few roads with restrictions (e.g. maxheight/maxweight) I am away for the following week so will unfortunately not be able to continue ground surveys to collect this information. If anyone has the time then that would be much appreciated, otherwise we can fill in the missing info at a later date :-) Relations -------------- Some relations (bus routes) may be missing a few roads come April. I have yet to have a look at relations but believe that if you view the relations history (on DeepDiff or JOSM) and it is ok then you can apply the odbl=clean tag to the RELATION (i.e. not the individual roads). Seeing as Curran1980 appears to have recently updated all bus routes after the network changes in February, you could easily argue that they can all be marked as clean (?). Thanks again to everyone helping out with remapping efforts - even if just a few nodes. Cheers, RobJN [1] http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=wtfe&lon=-1.52133&lat=52.41458&zoom=12&overlays=overview,wtfe_line_inrelation,wtfe_point_modified,wtfe_line_modified_cp,wtfe_line_modified,wtfe_point_created,wtfe_line_created_cp,wtfe_line_created
