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

http://didok.osm.ch/

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something in your vicinity is outdated: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
