When the World Needs a Map, Give them a Database | over 4 years ago | Another problem I have noticed is how hard it is to clone the infrastructure that powers OSM for similar projects. Judging from my progress at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Ika-chan!/Fantasy_maps_with_OSM_software (currently delayed due to other commitments), it is far from as easy as installing MediaWiki, another FOSS project. |
No, there's still more! | over 4 years ago | This is partly why I am trying to create instructions to help people set up their own server stack so that don’t have to post their data here. Note to self: also create instructions to set up a local domain name. |
Legacy Road Colours for OpenStreetMap Carto | over 4 years ago | Hi, I made an attempt at improving the legibility of the motorway and primary road shields (for the official colour option), by adding a 0.25-wide halo around the text. The current motorway route colour is a bit hard to challenge because it seems to be the most appropriate for the official colour of the shield. |
Potential border issue: Catalonia | over 4 years ago | Well, it’s started: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/53292370 This is why I activated the early warning flare. |
Odd brown area | almost 5 years ago | Oh, not even JOSM or the most experienced mapper is immune to making mistakes. Anyway, thanks guys. |
Odd brown area | almost 5 years ago | @maxerickson It doesn’t look like the history page at osm.org is helpful at all. It shows every recent changeset in view, no matter how small it is. |
Representing San Francisco City Hall in simple 3D building | about 5 years ago | @Chetan_Gowda Assuming that I can’t link to Google, the tower blocks at https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/33851053, https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/402995973, https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/220641100 and https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/220641101. |
Representing San Francisco City Hall in simple 3D building | about 5 years ago | This is pretty impressive, but I wonder which renderers support multiple balconies over many floors, in the same location, as in those in tower blocks in London? |
AAARGH !!! Those Spammers ! | about 5 years ago | @Richard My bad. (facepalm) |
AAARGH !!! Those Spammers ! | about 5 years ago | The problem now is that the spammers are doing it nearly everyday, pushing all the legitimate entries off the feed. Another thing I noticed is that the OpenStreetMap signup page does not have that “I’m not a robot” captcha, which is a far cry from the days you had to figure out nearly-indecipherable words. |
