[OSM-talk] Issue from IRC last night.... UK rights of way and access keys

[Nick Whitelegg]

Had to leave the IRC meeting early, but I note that rights of way were 
discussed.

I have put up a wiki page (actually, a modified and retitled version of 
"Countryside surveying") at

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/UK_public_rights_of_way

BOATs and the even stranger RUPP are discussed in detail.

BTW (as advised on my posting to the list about a week ago seeking feedback on 
the matter) I changed the access key for official public access from "public" 
to "yes" (in view of the fact that the overwhelming majority of existing data 
appears to be using "yes", not "public", and changing it all would be a major 
task). Does this sound reasonable or would anyone prefer it changed back?
