I've been using highway=residential/service/unclassified and the surface=unsurfaced/unpaved tags.

osm.org/browse/changeset/1947810 Seems that the changes actually got uploaded.

Great to see the meetups are spreading. Is this going to be a regular monthly meetup?

I'll be getting off the Eurostar and transferring to the Thalys from Brussels 16:52 to Amsterdam 19:36. Returning Amsterdam 09:26 to Brussels 12:08.

Do you know that JOSM has a modeless option, so that it works more like Potlatch? I've never managed to be able to use it myself because I'm so used to the default mode.

I counted at least 20 people.

You should use some landuse areas. An area is a way which has the start and end nodes the same, and has the appropriate tags. For example landuse=grass, leisure=park, or landuse=residentual.

Hope that helps.

Your question isn't very clear.

Height data is only stored in OSM for peak and a few other specific features.

The cycle map takes its height data from another dataset called SRTM, which you can't modify.

Proposals like the life cycle tag are rubbish because they can completely change the meaning of current tags. For example you should use amenity=old_pub if a pub closes. Similarly for a canal you would use waterway=disused_canal, which is similar to the tags that you use for railways.

Test

At the moment this feature is not possible. This has been discussed over the past few days, and it is primarily a privacy issue.

You can however get an RSS feed of all the traces with a particular tag. For example all the traces that have the tag UK osm.org/traces/tag/UK/rss

There are no specified limits, however it is recommended to avoid them getting too large, otherwise you can find it will take ages for the server to respond with the answer. The recommendation is around 2000 items per relation maximum, ideally nearer 1000 items (which may be enforced at some point as there has already been some talk of doing so).

Is there now a footpath that connects those roads now?

Mapnik has a varying delay based on how busy the server is. Also from Wendesday until the weekend it is usually not updating.

I usually have to try a few different timezone options to get my traces to work properly.

The server devs are slowly working on optimising the code and removing the bugs. It will probably take some time though.

The CloudMade maps are now a week out of date, and should be updated to today's data in the next day or two.
From a Wednesday morning through to Saturday the main mapnik layer will have a longer than usual delay due to the weekly planet import, and following catchup required.

If you can cycle along the bit of road where the bollards are, you should have a short way in the middle of the residential, which is a cycleway. Most routing engines don't take into account the barrier=bollards yet.

Can you please elaborate?

It has probably been having the weekly import, so the minutely updates haven't caught up yet.
