Interesting, I never knew that polygons adjust labels as a multi-line text. Nice work!

We also have a big relief map of the Philippines inside a park in the Philippines.

grazer,

I am not from Iloilo, but let me know how to help.

maning

here's how to use the sawtooth webpage and josm
http://vimeo.com/13546210

Thank you to all those helping out. We nearly nuked 25% of the sawtooth segments. Less the 1,000 segments to go!

> 4. Akala ko leader ka kase nakasulat sa letter mo Head-Maning
:) Na-copy paste mo yung alternate text ng picture ko sa profile. "head-maning" ang nakasulat dun dahilo ulo ko naman talaga yun.

> Siguro si manning galit sa mga taga Bacolod ano ba problema nito?
No, I don't have any grudge against anyone in Bacolod.
(tagalog: Hindi ako galit kaninuman sa Bacolod)

> Bakit palagi ako ang pinag iinitan niya?
I actually mailed all the users who have mapped the Bacolod area.
(tag: Lahat ng mappers sa Bacolod ay pinadalhan ko ng sulat.)

> ni hindi nga ako nag upload ng kahit ano na gps traces dahil hindi ako marunong.
I can teach you how to upload traces, give me details why you are having a difficult time in uploading.
(tagalog: Pwede kita turuan, saang bahagi ba ng pag-upload ka nahihirapan?)

> sya ba ang lider dito?
No, I'm not the leader or anything. But I do have the right or anyone in OSM to ask.
(Hindi ako ang pinuno. Subalit, may karapatan ako at ang kahit sino sa OSM na magtanong.)

> abusuhin ang powers mo
I simply asked, I didn't even touch any of your edits.
(tagalog: Nagtanong lang ako, ni hindi ko nga ginalaw yung mga edits mo.)

> siguro nexttime sa may nila naman ako mag edit yun malapit sa iniedit niya.
I thought this was an empty threat, apparently not:
osm.org/browse/way/59134977/history

This is tantamount to vandalism. Please don't mess with the database that other find very useful and in some cases saved lives (Haiti)

(Akala ko banta lamang ito, pero hindi pala:
osm.org/browse/way/59134977/history

Maituturing itong bandalismo. Pakiusap, wag mong gawin ito. Maraming tao ang nakikinabang sa datos mula sa OSM at may mga pagkakataong nakapagligtas pa ito ng buhay, gaya nang sa Haiti.)

It's election season in the Philippines, people are more concerned with privacy due to the upcoming election (you know how it works). I stopped doing photo-mapping for now because I was "accused" of documenting election-related violations around a certain neighborhood.

What we interpret as trunk roads in the Philippines maybe different from the UK's description.

For a brief description here's the link:
osm.wiki/WikiProject_Philippines/Mapping_conventions

Recently there is an existing discussion in the OSM-Philippines mailing list regarding this matter:
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ph/2010-April/002055.html

I invite you guys to join the mailinglist to discuss tagging conventions we are adopting for the country.

Keep on mapping!

Avelinosk and MTBBCD,

This is maning another pinoy openstreetmapper.

Bacolod data is growing very fast and I commend bacolod contributors for your contributins. However, let us discuss this with cool heads :). I only understand some english and tagalog. I hope we can resolve your issue by agreeing on a consensus rather than reverting each other's edits.

@yellowbkpk,
Some way we can easily look and compare whether the source is legitimate. We request contributors to add a source tag, but this is optional. We ask them to upload traces but again, this is optional. It's difficult to determine whether a contribution is legit or not. You have to be very "suspicious" and then turn around and say we respect each and every contribution.

@mcwetboy, copying for copyrighted material without explicit permission

The red lines means these are deleted ways which you can undelete. Last month, there was a contributor who added a lot of data in Bacolod which the author himself admitted to be from a source not compatible with OSM's license.

See this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/talk-ph@openstreetmap.org/msg01793.html

If you have been "undeleting" these lines, please do not do it. That data was proven to be tainted with copyright restrictions. Please remove edits coming from these red lines. As for your other edits, we respect them as good ones.

One more thing, please don't label other contributors as simply bad. We had a previous experience from people adding copyrighted data that is why Totor is asking you for traces. OSM community respect and value every contributor.

Do let us know how we can help you. I've been to Bacolod once and I have some friends in the City. One of the friendliest city I've been to btw. :)

Yay! Baguio gets more love.

Keep it up!

Perhaps bridge=collapsed?

@ robert,
I know and it's inevitable that we map those house numbers.

@ MarikinaValleyDotCom,

That's great to hear! If we can ask the LGU for permission to add the data in OSM. I can help in importing the data.

I suggest you subscribe to the osm-ph mailinglist:
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
Where most Philippine related mapping topics are discussed.

I had a brief look at your edits over St. Paul. So far it is good. I believe some trails going to the underground river are actually highway:steps.

There is also a contributor based in Puerto Princesa City proper maybe you can hook up with him.

You can contact him via our mailinglist.
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph

Keep on mapping

> Mapping is not a kiddy thing.
I assume the premise here is "do it right the first time". While we try to always adopt this mantra. OSM was inherently designed with a big "CTRL-Z" anyone can use. That's the essence of a collaborative project.

That being said, we also need "mapping professional" to help out.

I think you can still help by improving what they started (i. e. editing unconnected nodes, etc.).

Or, you can divert your energy in improving the Philippines :)
