Can someone help me on the background to this effort? What are these
licensing issues and the tool that is linked, is that a private tool or
is is provided for use by anyone?
I've only been doing this mapping for 6 months or so and am still trying
to get to know what tools are available and what efforts are going on.
Cheers
BTW I'm based in Redditch, although this w/e I'm down in North London!

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,
