Added a Trac ticket - http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/4101 - as a prerequisite to this, so search results can be linked to. Hoping to look into this on Saturday at the hack weekend.

Interesting, Andy's comment wasn't showing up, but appeared after I posted the comment. Caching issue?

eMerzh: I agree we should probably try to give that less prominence in the lists.

LivingWithDragons: I started with a subset of more popular icons from the Mapnik directory, but it would be good to add some more in there, yep.

Andy: (not sure what happened to that 4th comment?) nothing major planned, but it would be good to use this same idea for the data overlay, maybe extend it to relations, mark deleted items with a strikethrough style, etc. I think I noted down some other ideas a while back, but will have to dig them out to remind myself :)

It's about ready to go I think... The patch is on Trac ticket #2787 if you would like to try it out give any feedback?

Welcome to the project, Samantha. I'm not sure if you've seen it already, but the tag for CCTV cameras (which I presume would be a key part of the study) is man_made:surveillance. I don't have much practical experience to share will mapping that sort of thing, but I'm sure others here will give tips and advice.

From the looks of this CCTV map you may be the first to map any of the cameras in Manchester.

I got my test site up and running locally, and the ruby code is working. I need to do some more testing and finish adding the classes in, then I'll propose it as a patch to the site maintainers.

I don't actually have a working rails port site set up to hack on at the moment, so if anybody fancies implementing it, please feel free. Otherwise, I'll hopefully get it set up soon so I can do it :)

If you're trying to delete a way, you'll need to use Shift-backspace instead of just backspace.
