Following on swiftly from Musical Chairs OSM Analaysis is now also running with the new OS Locator data.
Warwickshire is the biggest gainer/looser with 33 new names; over half of the districts have got at least one new road and there are now only 8 places still at 100%. We do have 51 at over 99% and only 32 at under 50%. There is serious work in Wales, parts of Scotland, the West Midlands and Norfolk at present and in other places as well. Progress is however slowing down. We were at 20K roads per month and are now down to some 11K which is pushing completion back to Autumn 2013. Any more takers for the OS Bot? I still think we are using a lot of expert time to do very mundane work less well than a computer would manage. Anyone who says that bulk imports will damage the community should take a look at the Netherlands where they did a bulk road import some years ago and have a hugely strong community now. For the avoidance of doubt I will not bulldoze this proposal through against the majority wishes, but there are people asking why we are doing all this manually and I think they have a point and don't want the proposal to be forgotten. The bot will still make is clear that a manual survey has not been completed of the area and invite people to take a look. It will free up human effort to do work that can't be done by a computer. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OS_bot Regards, Peter Miller (user:PeterIto) _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
