[Talk-GB] Windermere and Rydal Water - missing

[Nick Whitelegg]

To reply to your points:

1. Firstly I don't think I have ever responded in a "rant" style fashion on the OSM mailing lists before, but could you please qualify your insulting first comment? Are you simply a troll, are are you simply so pathetic and small-minded not to realise that a) Freemap is a hobbyist project and is thus inevitably subject to limitations in server power and b) any time I spend on it is my own spare time, I am unable to work on it 24/7? If you think it could be improved I suggest you check out the source code at https://github.com/nickw1/Freemap and contribute, rather than pathetically insulting and denigrating a lot of hard work? I do You are the first person I have ever launched a "rant" at in eight years of contributing to OSM - well done ;-) Come back when you have some positive suggestions as to how I can improve Freemap without needing to invest more money in it, or when you have some source code to contribute, otherwise....


2. I always thought lakes were simply represented as natural=water. Anything special about these two which suggests they shouldn't?  True, they have islands in them but so does Derwentwater.

1. Didn't appear on Freemap when I updated the data earlier today (first update since the 64-bit ID issue in Feb)
Well, to be honest, there's your problem. Freemap, to me, is a bit
    of a joke.

No, they're in the multipolygon.  http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multipolygon
