[Talk-ko] Wiki howto: bridges

Hi everyone,

I am starting to write some wiki pages about how to map things in Korea. 
In my opinion there is insufficient information in the wiki for new
mappers to help us in Korea.  I have been mapping for some time now, so I
will write down what I have learned.

If you agree with my suggestions then that's great.  If you don't agree-
well, it's a wiki, so please add more information or edit mine to make it
clearer/better.  If you *really* disagree then let us all discuss it here
first.

My first page is a simple page about bridges:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Korea_bridges

I have explained how to find the name of the bridge, and other information
such as the length and width.  Korean speakers will already know how to
read this information, but the wiki page makes it clear for non-Korean
speakers.  I will add another example later showing weight limits.

I have also been working on some other pages, which I have mentioned
already.  They need some extra work to make them useful:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Korea_Motorways
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Korea_Streetsigns
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Korea_Streetsigns_history

My plan is to write a detailed page on street numbers (for the new
addressing scheme) and one about mapping motorways in detail.

Best wishes,

Andrew
