Team Maine,

OSMaine Project Planning

I'd like to host a *virtual meeting to organize mapping projects*. *this
link <http://whenisgood.net/kc9jxn4>* lets you tell me when you're free
next week. I'll send out a Zoom invite after (if) I get responses.

Alt_name on Routes

Also, I'm working on translating E911 roads into OSM schema and I'd like
your opinions. I'm trying to derive ways' alt_name from route number and
there are some options on format:

For state route 17, should alt_name be:
A) Maine State Route 17
B) State Route 17
C) Maine Route 17
D) Route 17
E) something else?

For national route 1, should  alt_name be:
1) United States Route 1
2) US Route 1
3) U.S. Route 1
4) Something else?

I'm leaning toward D and 2.
