Hello all,

The latest version of the OpenStreetMap software (API 0.5) is coming
very soon - maybe as soon as a week and a half. There are two big
changes, one of which requires action now.

Segments are being abolished. When the switchover happens, any
segments which aren't already part of ways will each be turned into an
individual way.

This affects you if you have drawn roads with segments (using JOSM)
but not yet turned them into ways. A road which you have drawn with 20
segments, for example, will become 20 individual ways.

Before this happens, you should consider turning such 'runs of
segments' into ways - making them easier to edit in the future.


== How to do this ==

- In JOSM: use the TWays plugin, or do it manually
    (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/JOSM/Plugins/tways)

- In Potlatch: enable unwayed segment display (on the prefs), then
    move to a corner on the pink lines, and press 'U'
    (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Potlatch/FAQs)


== Where to concentrate your efforts ==

Check your local area; check anywhere you're editing; and if you have
some spare time, concentrate on one of the "hotspots" where there are
many such unwayed segments.

You can see the hotspots here: http://openstreetmap.gryph.de/unwayed.html


I'll be sending this reminder out at regular intervals until the
changeover happens!

cheers
Richard
