OpenStreetMap
While the OSM database was read-only, I spent some time editing a few wiki pages about the project I’m involved in. Check them out if you’re interested:
*osm.wiki/OpenTripPlanner - Added a discussion and tables of how certain OSM tags affect routing in OpenTripPlanner, including access, bike, elevator tags, and even public transport and railway platforms.
*osm.wiki/RLIS - Added a link to a recent presentation about the Portland OpenStreetMap Improvement Project and updated some other info.
Finally, if you live in the Portland area and you haven’t checked it out yet, try out the Regional Trip Planner - it’s still in beta but will replacing TriMet’s old trip planner soon.
Thanks!

Wow, that Regional Trip Planner looks amazing! I’ve never seen a public transport trip planner like that. Wish we had something similar over here…

It’s an open source project, so check out http://opentripplanner.org and keep an eye on the demo list page – it’s spreading like wildfire and might be coming to your area soon!

Oops, sorry about the duplicate – it didn’t look like the comment had gone through.

I’m amazed at how the city of Portland is really embracing OSM. Would love that kind of support up here in Seattle :)
