We produced the first part. As I wrote it, it is in "DEnglish" :-( ;-) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Life_Long_Learning_Mapping_Project_-_EU-Comenius:_BoostOSM_-_DE3_LLP-Com-SV_(PAD) Question: Is here on the list sombody how could help us to transfer the wiki into a wiki which contains "Oxford - English" ;-) Thanks in advance </pre> Manfred A.

He draws the land-use areas out to the middle of the streets. For example, if he is specifying a city block as "residential," he draws the outline down the middle of the surrounding streets, and all the points in the outline intersect with the points that create the street. Is this the way land sue should be done?

Thanks in advance, Xan. </pre> Xan 2012-04-12T19:21:08 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.user/6496 <pre>Hi, is there a good, complete guide describing how to set up a map server (using Geoserver) with OSM data. What i'm looking for is: - How to take OSM data into a local DataBase (I have already done this with .osm files into a PostGIS DB) - How to create the appropiate layers in Geoserver (Already achieve this, but dont know if in the best way) - Finally, and were i'm stuck, good styles for Geoserver (ones like used by OSM but for Geoserver instead of Mapnik) I have found styles for Geoserver but they give problems when validating the xml (people also noticed that in the post comments). So if anyone knows of good-looking working styles for Geoserver they will be appreciated. Javier </pre> Javier Mr 2012-04-10T09:00:30 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.user/6493 <pre>Hello again, Thanks for the info on where to find the cleanup page. Now, as I begin to work on West LA using the OSM Inspector, I have a couple more questions. --If a way is marked red, do I have to delete it and redraw it altogether? (After all most of these began as TIGER data) --If a way is marked with orange, is it enough just to change it to a different type of road (such as primary), then save it, then change it back and save it again? Or do I have to do something more elaborate? --Ditto for points Best, Charlotte Charlotte Wolter 927 18th Street Suite A Santa Monica, California 90403 +1-310-597-4040 techlady-HdH7QgRCk0dWk0Htik3J/w&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org Skype: thetechlady The Four Internet Freedoms Freedom to visit any site on the Internet Freedom to access any content or service that is not illegal Freedom to attach any device that does not interfere with the network Freedom to know all the terms of a service, particularly any that would affect the first three freedoms. </pre> Charlotte Wolter 2012-04-10T00:21:53 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.user/6490 <pre>A have a dozen or so changesets so far, and I realized I forgot to add the source=survey tag to my edits. If I make this single change, I end up with yet another changeset. It seems soon I will have too many changesets to keep track of. Can I avoid this by keeping Potlatch 2 open for a long time while making my original edits (it takes me along time to get everything right)? Or maybe it is better to use JOSM, and save my edits locally until I am finished with an area? If I do this, how long is it reasonable to make local edits before I upload them back to OSM (I am worried about conflicts with other users if I keep a local JOSM editing session going for too long).</pre> David Litke 2012-04-08T19:09:11 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.user/6489 <pre>After making some Potlatch 2 edits, if I go to my "my edits" page, I see the current changeset with the message "still editing". How do you close a changeset?</pre> David Litke 2012-04-08T19:02:32 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.user/6470 <pre>A while back I was looking at a provider that offered to install all, or a subset, of OSM and a tile generator, and I can't find the site. I thought it was TileDrawer (since I remember it being an Ubuntu instance), but I can't see anything on their site now that refers to a service. I think it was about $800 (plus hosting fees) for an installation of a bunch of tools, though can't remember exactly what. Tac </pre> Tac Tacelosky 2012-03-26T13:07:01 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.user/6467 <pre>I'm trying to build a map that reflects some county-level data. I have the shapefiles of the counties, and I have some data about each county (e.g. Average income). Can someone point me to the right tools to create this map? Openlayers and Leaflet don't show any examples like this, so I'm thinking maybe I need to render my own tiles in tilemill? ArcGIS has lots of tools for this, I'm trying to understand what Open Source tools I can use to get the same results. Thanks, Tac </pre> Tac Tacelosky 2012-03-20T16:54:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.user/6459 <pre>Hi, Several OSM generated map webpages have links ( or drop-down menus) that will take you to the an edit function such as potlatch or josm. The example I'm currently looking at is in CLEANMAP [link&lt;http://cleanmap.poole.ch/#&gt;]. Once you've zoomed in enough the drop-down menu in the top left can be used to open Potlatch or josm. Potlatch always works for me, but clicking on the josm link does not. What do I need to do so that josm opens? I am using Firefox, and josm-tested.jar Cheers, Jason </pre> Jason Cunningham 2012-03-12T12:08:27 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.user/6456 <pre>I have a full OSM planet database import that I use for rendering Mapnik tiles. I would like to use a bounding box to extract a geographic region from the database to be used in rendering on a different server. Does anyone know the SQL statement I could use to extract the BB info from all the tables into a different DB? I have tried to use osm2pgsql to go the other way and use the BB to import data into another DB but have lately been running into memory issues on the import (even though I'm using --slim mode). I am using Windows so I am only able to use the old osm2pgsql binary that has been created a few years ago. Thanks, Matt </pre> Matthew Wechsler 2012-03-06T20:09:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.user/6455 <pre>hi, I want to put this news [http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/news/foursquare-now-uses-openstreetmap/] in OSM wiki, but I don't know how to do it. Anyone could help me? Thanks in advance, Xan. PS: If you want to put you and explain after, I don't mind. </pre> Xan 2012-03-02T19:34:46 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.user/6452 <pre>Hi all, I was wondering how you would import large areas of data like has been done in New Jersey and Georgia (U.S.) instead of doing it manually using tags like natural=wood, landuse=farmland, etc. Is there a website where you can download data from and use an editor like JOSM to process the data and upload to OSM. I'm kind-of new to OSM (I don't know any of the really advanced things like this yet), so I would love to learn more about more advanced mapping and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! </pre> Evan 2012-02-28T02:16:29 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.user/6432 <pre>After having uploaded a GPS trace and used it for mapping (converted to a way, tagged etc), is there any reason to keep the original in http://www.openstreetmap.org/traces/mine ? Would deleting old GPS traces affect the map in any way? I'd like to purge old data from my profile for privacy reasons. Thanks Alex </pre> Alexandros Papadopoulos 2012-02-21T15:26:54 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.user/6430 <pre>Hello Sometimes aerial imagery is not aligned with existing OSM data. Is it possible to *know* which of the two is right? I was going by the assumption that OSM data always trump aerial imagery, but after finding an instance where this was not the case (because the OSM data had been previously traced on a misaligned aerial image) I'm not sure what to do. If I was lucky enough to have been through that area AND had the GPS on, then it's fine - I have a trace I can trust and I'll align accordingly. But when one hasn't got a personal trace, what can be done? Thanks Alex </pre> Alexandros Papadopoulos 2012-02-21T15:14:57 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.user/6427 <pre>Hello Team, I am a newbie to openstreetmaps, and integrating OpenStreetMaps in our application for production use in transportation industry. *Can you please help me confirm if it is a good idea to use the default tile images from OSM tile servers or should we create our own tile images?* If creating own tile images is the best option, how difficult is it and what should be done to achieve the same? Please give me a link to the "Thread" if this question is already answered. </pre> Naveen Bahatam 2012-02-21T12:26:34 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.user/6424 <pre> Thank you for answering Richard and Graham. You both said that I should post my questions somewhere else where anybody could read them and make suggestions, what do you mean? I thought this "newbies" mailing list would be OK... For my final project I was thinking of something from scratch, something specific that I could do alone by myself (with some help of course), and with relatively no time limit. I think that they would consider allowing me to work on an existing project too, but I'd rather go with the first option. I have no experience in OSM, but I have time and I look forward to digging into it. I do have experience in programming with C, C++ and Java, and I would like to work on a project related to the telematic area of OSM if possible...
