Housenumbers and privacy, the sequel/possible epilogue

Sorry for the late reply.

I don't usually document housenumbers using a camera.

Housenumbers and privacy, the sequel/possible epilogue

I'm talking about housenumber documentation paranoia, not Panoramafreiheit.

Non-legalese version of the contributor terms

And there should be an option where you can "choose" your license. (Suggested licenses are ODbL 1.0, DbCL 1.0, CC BY-SA (2.0, 2.5, 3.0) and PD. You can choose to dual or multi-license your edits/contributions unless want your edits to be part of the Public domain or the "let the foundation decide that for me" license)

Non-legalese version of the contributor terms

It should be "anything", not "anyhing". And there should be a "Message too long? Click here" link for those who are stumped with those "big words"

Housenumbers and privacy

I assume that the person is running for a local post in Los Baños. To play safe, I won't upload the waypoints/traces that contain the offending waypoint (until we make amends or the concerned person forgets the incident in 2-4 months time)

Thanks, Gnonthgol and JohnSmith.

Papé Beltway in the news

@daveemtb I also use name= and osm.wiki/Tag:old_name=, but that doesn't cause that much controversy IRL. For example: http://www.gmanews.tv/story/143204/Officials-inaugurate-GMA-Network-Drive-in-QC, which happened over a year ago.

http://www.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/news/cityregion/24603064-41/welch-commission-eugene-government-map.csp is the link. If they want to change it, might as well tag name=Eugene Beltline Road/Randy Papé Beltway; old_name=Belt Line Road; new_name=Randy Papé Beltway to solve that problem (or not)

Routing in cdauth’s map

It also works on IE7 as well (sort of)

New to this mapping thing...

You can't use data from Google maps here.

Resort

Try tourism=hotel, resort=yes. If it was close to the shore, I would have tagged it as natural=beach.

Revised scheme for trails in Middlesex Fells, Mass., USA

If ia footway/path has a "no trespassing" sign, use access=private instead. access=no is used when the footway/path is barricaded (and no one can pass through that barricade).

No bugzilla

you can use trac.openstreetmap.org, that *our* version of bugzilla, or something like that.

abandoned no more

What else is new? The buildings have a different shade. Or have a different color altogether (from chocolate-ish brown to something close to a mixture of gray, brown and black).

How to change Google Maps to OSM globally

it may not work at first, but once you press the refresh/reload button after doing that (adding the line for the /etc/hosts file), the map transforms - from the Google one to the OSM one. Sometimes, the layers (and transitioning) are a bit different from what you might expect. Other than that, good job.

A lot of new contributors in the Philippines

I've welcomed a new mapper named "Pufferfish". Gave him some tips, and invited him to join the mailing list. It's a good start, that's for sure. Maybe we need to make a "survey" for our new mappers.
