[OSM-talk] Oakham

[Etienne]

I think everyone who was there has contributed something to the map of
Oakham.  Definitely a collaborative effort.  And to get it produced so
quickly after the event is an outstanding achivement.

On the other hand, the Uppingham team need to pull their socks up ;-)

The use of areas rather than abutters looks much nicer, and I for one will
be doing all my maps like this from now on.  The biggest limitation at the
moment is that because direction is an attribute of a segment it is not
possible for two areas to share a common boundary.  Because of this the
region around the church, for example, is a bit of a maze when viewed in
JOSM. The sooner we get rid of segments the easier it will be to do this
kind of thing.
