OSM tile server inplemented in SVG	over 15 years ago	@mbuege: got it now, thanks. Some of the Wikipedia-Icons seem to be misplaced on the map; I had a closer look on the map of Oman, and while quite a few W-icons point to articles related to Oman, some are pointing to articles related to Spain. The coordinates displayed on those wikipedia-articles appear to be correct (i.e. located in Spain), though.
OSM tile server inplemented in SVG	over 15 years ago	Hi, that is a really cool application. Two (minor?) problems I've seen: - I can't get the Wikipedia-button to do anything (at least I don't see anything happen) - Zooming to Vatican City ends up somewhere in West Africa

should every OSMer be an expert in Geodesy?	over 15 years ago	Apparently the original comment on that blog was not from an "OSM expert", but from someone who claims to be a "mapping professional" who suggests, that "your group" (meaning the OSM project) would need mapping professionals, because mapping is a complicated thing that can only be done by experts. Looking at OSM I think I disagree; obviously a lot can be done by enthusiasts without much prior knowledge.

We're making a map here	almost 16 years ago	Well, its about producing all kinds of maps actually. So everything that has a geographic location and that you (or I or whoever) want to see on a map should go into the database. The maps on the OpenStreetMap website are only a small subset of the maps created from the project data.

Editing GPX traces	almost 16 years ago	Well, gpx-files are actually cleartext xml files. I found it quite easy to edit them in a simple text editor.
MARTA Help Needed	almost 16 years ago	The railway=station tag can be applied to a single node or to an area. If you use it for a node, that node does not need to be a member of the way representing the rail; it just marks the spot where the station name and icon should be rendered.

Mountains are hard to map	almost 16 years ago	You could ask the people from your local mountaineering club if they'ld like an introduction to OSM. Maybe they would be interested to map stuff like climbing routes as well.
Why are some people lazy?	almost 16 years ago	I suggest you try to find a street that has been modified and use the item history to find out who did the change. Contact the user and tell him that his work was not really helpful. I blame most of these cases not on malice or lazyness, but people being both enthusiastic and clueless. Hopefully it's possible to give them a clue without demotivating them.

Landuse	almost 16 years ago	Early this year the bavarian authorities released high resolution aerial photos for a trial period of three months, and by the end of that time quite a lot of landuse has been mapped. Doesn't look to bad IMHO; check for yourself at e.g. osm.org/go/0JWhIsy-- The area on the hill in the back would have been mapped as landuse=grass (one of the josm presets) probably, landuse=farm was used for actual fields.
nato attack sites in kosovo	almost 16 years ago	I think we need a more general way of tagging danger areas; besides radioactivity that should also cover dangers created by unexploded ammunition or landmines. On the topic of attack sites: That could be a value for the "historic" tag IMHO.
