Hi
A kick-off meeting for (open? hopefully!) Swiss transport data will take place May 15 in the later afternoon in Zürich. See details in Hannes message below.
It looks to me, as nobody from OSM Community is attending this kick-off meeting...

At least nobody, neither from SOSM board (http://sosm.ch/about/board/) nor somebody volunteering and contributing value to OSM by e.g. importing transportation data (public transportation stops) as Michael. See his message from February 5th
IMHO, OSM hackers with real, practical experience should attend such a kick-off meeting in order to add practical value from a OSM POV.
cheeers, h.

Hello fellow mappers
I did an update to the public transport map comparing OSM data with data from DIDOK, the official list of public transport stops in Switzerland from BAV. Tha data used now is form the last time table change. With this update the map now resides on the SOSM server, and not on my personal one any more. The new address is http://didok.osm.ch
It is quite a while since the initial import of DIDOK into OSM. Lots of things have changed, so please have a look at the map and see if something in your vicinity is outdated:
Look for stops which are in OSM but not in DIDOK (layer "stops only in didok") Look for stops which are in DIDOK but not in OSM (layer "stops only in osm")
Also, there are still 7200 unchecked stops which were imported from DIDOK which are potentially wrong. If you feel like verifying a few, look at the layer "survey state of nodes"
Thank you to everybody mapping and maintaining public transport stops Michael
