That’s fantastic! Is the Wegenregister licensed under the ODbL? Does the central Flemish government know that it can only ever re-distribute it under the ODbL?

I’ll match your pledge, so it’s 200€ total now.

This looks very cool! I’ll definitely try to get it running for Luxembourg.

The address part currently returns a 404, is it still being worked on, or is it a separate piece of code? We recently got open addresses a bit like Denmark, and I’d love to benefit from Denmark’s existing experience.

British class politics aside, what has worked for me is carrying around flyers. Bright hi-vis jacket, loud friendly hellos, a bit of pontificating about open maps, and they’ll be impatient for you to get on with it and leave within seconds :)

Also, that analysis could be restricted by barony and CP.

At the hack weekend, Dietmar and I played with similarity() in pg_trgrm. An interesting analysis would be, for the townlands with no match, to show the unmatched townlands on the other side with the most similar names. When’s the next hackwochenende? :)

Do any data consumers, renderers, or routing engines use the sidewalk=* tag?

Interesting! How are you planning to make it render just on the left side in this case?

While we’re talking about pavements, do you know of any routing engines that use that tagging for pedestrian routing?

You can save the second line by using the extrude mode (X), then alt-dragging the first line down.

Have you looked into creating JOSM colour styles? It looks like that would be a more efficient way of doing it.

Should I explicitly say sorry to anyone who had unpleasant time with me? I don’t want to belittle the issue, but I want to add slightly different perspective on this. It is very common for non-native English speakers to edit their messages 2-3 times. Or use rude words when trying to explain their environment.

Yes, you should at least try to be a pleasant person to map with. I’m not a native English speaker either, and manage to communicate with other mappers without insulting them.

Do you have an idea how complete this is, compared to the counts of the official datasets? For example, in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, we have 18143 addresses on OSM, out of about 150k in the official, georeferenced address database that’s not yet open data.

I found your diary entry interesting, and tried to tag a bridge. Any idea why osm.org/way/368210603 renders below the motorway?

Sounds like your chain is stuck between your frame and your wheel, and you can just pop the wheel out and back in. Don’t forget to fasten the quick release levers, and read up on how to adjust a derailleur if it happens again.

There’s also with a space, with no apostrophe at all…

It isn’t working for me - 403 on http://www.technomancy.org/osm-hackerspaces/hackerspaces.geojson

I had no idea there were so few mappers mapping townlands.

What are you looking at, the last editor of all townland objects?

No one has volunteered to contribute the code to allow reports to be made for spam, enable captchas, or that kind of stuff. If you know some rails, that would be very welcome.

If you were successful in making OpenStreetMap US more welcoming to women, I hear the OSMF is having an election soon…

Because if you do this without being careful, you’ll expand Doctor to Drive, or expand things that aren’t abbreviations. There are local QA tools, like the French Osmose, that encourage the users to correct abbreviations.
