Fwd: [OSM-talk] Licence redaction ready to begin
by Simon Poole 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

The readaction bot will start running on Wednesday (note the small Freudian slip by Richard). -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [OSM-talk] Licence redaction ready to begin Datum: Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:46:43 +0100 Von: Richard Fairhurst <richard(a)systemeD.net> An: talk(a)openstreetmap.org, dev(a)openstreetmap.org, announce(a)openstreetmap.org Hello all, I'm pleased to announce that the licence change bot is ready to get underway. Starting this week, we will be 'redacting' the contributions (less than 1%) from the live database that are not compatible with the new Contributor Terms and Open Database Licence (ODbL) - in other words, they will no longer be accessible. We are expecting to begin on _Wednesday_ (9th July) assuming a couple of final setup details are completed by then. The bot will run in the following order: 1. Ireland 2. UK 3. Western Europe 4. North America 5. Australia 6. rest of the world Once it is complete, we will be ready to distribute data under the ODbL and we'll advise of that with a separate announcement. The final pre-redaction dataset available under CC-BY-SA has now been generated at http://planet.openstreetmap.org/planet-120704.osm.bz2 . Where data has been redacted, any attempt to access it from the API or the site's 'browse' pages will return a response to that effect. Test runs have shown that the bot is functioning as we want it to, but we will of course be monitoring its progress. We are currently expecting it to take in the order of one month to complete; given the many variables I'm afraid we can't give a more precise steer yet, but we'll aim to keep everyone updated as it runs (via the announce@ and talk@ lists). There will be _no_ API outage and no other interruption to editing. When the bot is running in your area, please do save your edits frequently to minimise the likelihood of conflict. (Separate messages are going to talk-ie@ and talk-gb@ as the first two areas to be affected. Please do forward and translate this for your local mailing lists.) As you know we were expecting this to start just after 1st April and the complexity of the task incurred the delay. Thank you all very much for your patience in waiting for it to get underway. Thank you especially to those who have contributed to the code, whether by patches, suggestions or just helping to firm up the workings.

WIKI separate page for MTB routes
by Simon Poole 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

I've split off the MTB route page from the "normal" cycling route page in the wiki. Mainly because the normal cycling page is simply getting too long and the potential addition of a further 136 local MTB routes would just make it explode. See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Switzerland/CycleNetwork http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Switzerland/MountainBikeNetwork I believe I've updated most of the relevant links. Simon

Wrongly tagged forest tracks
by Simon Poole 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

Thomas (t-i) has a bicycle access map that a number of you may have already seen http://osm.t-i.ch/bicycle/map/ If you have a look at the map you will notice large areas of red: http://osm.t-i.ch/bicycle/map/?zoom=12&lat=47.49081&lon=8.06874&layers=B000… Complete forests that are forbidden for bicycles. The reason for this is widespread incorrect use of access=forestry or access=agricultural on these ways. This restricts ANY usage of the way in question to forestry and agricultural use, so even by foot entrance is not allowed. What people are mostly tagging is the sign "Motorfahrzeuge verboten" in combination with "Waldstrasse" or "Land- und Forstwirtschaftliche Verkehr gestattet" see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Switzerland/Map_Features#Other_common_Si… (note on the side: sign 2.01 http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bildtafel_der_Verkehrszeichen_in_der_Schweiz should be tagged verhicle=....... ). In principle it is naturally possible to tag access=forestry and then foot=yes, bicycle=yes, horse=yes and so on, but that is silly and error prone (and wouldn't cover usage for which OSM currently doesn't have a tag), the only sensible way to tag this restriction (which is universal by law in all of Switzerland) is motor_vehicle=forestry. Correct tagging of this situation is important if we want to provide correct bicycle and walking routing, don't forget that there are (forest) areas in which access is really not allowed, these can only be correctly determined if we don't have to ignore wrongly tagged objects. I've fixed some of this tagging in my immediate vicinity, and a lot of the access=forestry stuff, however there are roughly 3000 ways tagged with access=agricultural left of which a lot are in forests, where we can suspect the same mistagging has happened. The preferred way of handling this is for local mappers to correct the tagging, I would be prepared to change this in a conservative fashion in a massedit, however that will only so a 90% job and leave a lot of stuff that still will have to be individually corrected.
