Yea, 2008/2009 is now in OpenHistoricalMap (site down now of course!). I'd like
to get all the past years in there too. Even Mike's 2001 experience ;). We
could remove these from OSM ... but I only think it's worth it after this years
BRC is up there.
I can lend some advice for this year, but don't have time to do the process
directly. In years past, we got details on the center, orientation, width and
names of streets, and some core infastructure like airport, toilets, burn
barrels .. pretty early, from the DPW. From that, we calculated the street
networks, etc, and not a problem to put on OSM. The other big data set is from
artery, the location of art works ... which does change on the playa from the
plans ... but usually no issue to publish as soon as available. The tricky data
set is theme camp sites, which is usually published as both coordinates, and as
a image showing the precise layout of each camp ... and that has been traced
into OSM (there's definitely a better way, see Jeff's comment about us no
longer being involved ;). This camp data is embargoed until gates open, as
everyone gets pissy about their camp placement, and makes it all more tricky to
manage on OSM.
I don't know what the current state of things is. Andrew would definitely know
the deal. Sounds like Jeff might have some data despite himself.
