Not all of the bike shops available in the bike hub app are in openstreetmap yet - check out

... and help track down the ones we don't have yet!

Glad to see someone treading carefully - and more importantly realising when it's not worth it! Sometimes I think when people have such high expectations of an import they aren't willing / able to back down when they realise it's not of the quality we aspire to.

Interesting to hear your thoughts on NHD, and I think it would really help to promote your methods of using the data, through documentation and blog posts like this.

Unless you're putting demonstratably false data into OSM and seeing it on Google, it's hard to be conclusive. If you're just adding the correct name - regardless of it not being in some other datasets you mention - it's hard to prove that someone else hasn't also independently corrected it in Google. After all, they have their Map Maker project where someone else just like you could be fixing things for them.

A deliberately incorrect tell-tale - like the famous Lye Close - would be more convincing.

Your quote from the Contributor Terms is a false quote, since you've chosen to remove some words from the start of the first sentence that you are quoting. Funnily enough, these extra words are there for good reason. By removing important words from the CTs you can make them say all kinds of different things, you know.

As for the memorandum of association stuff, that's a different issue. Given that they are a) boilerplate and b) currently under review anyway, I don't see why it's such a big deal to stop you from contributing to OpenStreetMap. Instead it would be nice if you joined in with the OSMF working group that's looking into the MoA and lend a hand, how about it?

Try the osmosis plugin TagTransform - osm.wiki/Osmosis/TagTransform

Your basic premise of the whole discussion is false - you can certainly have overlapping polygons in OSM, and I've no idea why you would think otherwise.

As for the grass on a building thing, that's fine, just use the layer tag to describe how objects are related vertically.

Please rename your project - we already have osm2pgsql and so this new project will lead to huge amounts of confusion.

Good stuff - It's great to see the level of detail that you're adding.

Great to see your enthusiasm - I hope you manage to recruit more cycling mappers!

As far as I'm aware they haven't updated since they launched back at the start of October, so it's well overdue. I've created an idea on their uservoice - maybe you could add a vote or three?

It should pop up a javascript alert box - potlatch2 knows when you have stuff to save (it enables the save button) and at the same time tells the html page to alert during the onbeforeunload event.

Unfortunately it appears that Opera are alone in not firing the onbeforeunload event. You should contact their support team and ask them to add support.

Yeah, I'd encourage anyone who likes P2 to set it as their default editor. When we see enough people using it, and hunt down any bugs that crop up, we can switch over the default.

Please don't auto-transliterate. That can be done by other pieces of software if required. You shouldn't be inserting data into openstreetmap which is just a processed version of other openstreetmap data.

If anyone wants some of the awesome leaflets to hand out, you can order them (completely free) from the OpenCycleMap shop at http://shop.opencyclemap.org/products/openstreetmap-promotional-leaflets and I'll put them in the post.

2.10, that is

Great stuff Harry, and sorry I wasn't able to make it then. It's a shame that SPOT isn't available in Potlatch 1/2,

Get an eTrex Vista HCx. Everything else is not worth the money. See http://www.gravitystorm.co.uk/shine/gps-recommendations/

This is my little ball of awesomeness for the day.

Seems good, although I think you could improve it further by dropping the shop link. I like your renaming of the Wiki Homepage

I believe it's "allowed" by sustrans, or maybe they don't care about such distinctions as much as highway engineers do! In such cases the routes should definitely be recorded in OSM using relations, sharing the same way.
