[Talk-GB] The state of Bristol in OSM

[Steve Chilton]

If that is a general question then yes I am working on this in my 'watched' areas - initially my home Borough (Enfield).
If it is about Bristol then no I am not working on it

Cheers
Steve

Subject: [Talk-GB] The state of Bristol in OSM

All,

To see what would happen to Bristol in April, see http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=wtfe&lon=-2.57888&lat=51.46006&zoom=12&overlays=overview,wtfe_point_clean,wtfe_line_clean,wtfe_point_harmless,wtfe_line_harmless,wtfe_point_modified,wtfe_line_modified_cp,wtfe_line_modified,wtfe_point_created,wtfe_line_created_cp,wtfe_line_created<http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=wtfe&lon=-2.57888&lat=51.46006&zoom=12&overlays=overview,wtfe_point_clean,wtfe_line_clean,wtfe_point_harmless,wtfe_line_harmless,wtfe_point_modified,wtfe_line_modified_cp,wtfe_line_modified,wtfe_point_created,wtfe_line_created_cp,wtfe_line_created>

I've started in my local area, basically deleting any problem roads or pois which I'm familiar with (and actually have contributed to in one way or another), and replaced them with entirely new roads or pois, using my own local knowledge mostly, and Bing and OS OpenData where appropriate.

Question: is anyone else doing this? Are people waiting until April 1st to fill the gaps? I look foward to the varied opinions!

Tim
