US Map	about 13 years ago	That first url was supposed to be www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=whatever&lon=whatever
US Map	about 13 years ago	Sounds like a good project for a beginner programmer :) All you’d have to do is get the town list from somewhere (I’m sure you could find a good one if you asked around US people) and build a tiny web app that looks up a random town and redirects the user to www.openstreetmap.org/edit? . Might be able to do it in just javascript. Might even be able to do it as a bookmarklet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet).
Update on Project Drake, mapping the University of Cambridge	about 13 years ago	Yup, that’s what I assumed. Excellent.
Update on Project Drake, mapping the University of Cambridge	about 13 years ago	Good work. Are the University planning on running a monitoring bot of some kind in case some bright spark decides to start messing around with e.g. the building reference IDs?
WOF#6. OSM is no more small business	about 13 years ago	Jesus they’re really hiding around every corner for you, aren’t they?
Untangeling ways	about 13 years ago	Agreed with asciiphil. Node sharing is very good for conjoined areas. The tools aren’t always great at dealing with them though.
CHISEL	about 13 years ago	Um, that’s not quite how OSM works. This is just a diary. Like a blog for notes. To add something to the map you’ve actually got to edit the map from the “edit” tab.
WOF#3. Database bloat hoax	about 13 years ago	Oh hold on - is this all about you trying to justify doing bulk edits? Good luck with that.
The Beginning	over 13 years ago	Why yes it does.
Is there an app? Who's doing the app?	over 13 years ago	Do you mean like osm.wiki/Android and osm.wiki/IOS ?
THE LAW OF FASHION	over 13 years ago	spam
x-plane users	over 13 years ago	Wow. Good amount of buildings there. Do you know about the “orthogonalize” button in potlatch/josm? Allows you to snap everything to right angles quickly & easily. Also josm has a useful set of features for doing buildings like “extrude”.
Another 5 Hours...	over 13 years ago	Looks like an interesting place to map.
Pacific Coast Bicycle Path	over 13 years ago	You could try asking http://help.openstreetmap.org - lots of people with lots of answers on there.
How do I download my GPS traces from OSM ?	over 13 years ago	The only way I can think is to write a script.
Green River, Wyoming, USA	over 13 years ago	Looking good
Campo Grande is a desert!	over 13 years ago	Now _that_ is the attitude to have. My prediction is you will enjoy mapping more than you did 4sq.
UK map	over 13 years ago	a) They may not agree with the new license b) They may be paranoid about the OSMF c) They may have forgotten about OSM and we have no way of contacting them.
New to OpenStreetMap	over 13 years ago	osm.wiki/Potlatch_2/Primer is a good resource too.
New to OpenStreetMap	over 13 years ago	(I have an old yellow eTrex (pre-H) and a BT747A+)
