[talk-au] Victorian Group? - Any links?

[Brett Henderson]

Hi Mike,

Welcome aboard.

As you've discovered, the main guide is the Australian Roads Tagging 
page.  With a bit of luck we can keep the amount of deviation between 
states to a minimum given the relatively small number of mappers we 
currently have in Australia.

There is a Victoria page created by Glen Pringle on the wiki here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/WikiProject_Victoria%2C_Australia
but it hasn't seen much activity other than Glen's work and there hasn't 
been an update since mid July.

Having said that, there are a number of mappers in Victoria but I 
haven't checked on recent activity to see who is still active.  I 
initially mapped the Melbourne city grid and some freeways before 
concentrating on my local suburb of Hillside but I have done very little 
recently due to lack of time.

I have a recent planet file with user names included.  When I get a 
chance I'll run a report on it to generate a list of users (with public 
edits enabled) who have edited in each state of Australia.  It should be 
interesting.

Cheers,
Brett
