Tom has written a whizzy new applet that I’ve put up to replace the horrid old one.

Thought I had done this some time ago: An mp3 of my talk is available here and the slides are here.

The whole editing interface has been rewritten. This blog has moved to /news, there is a static image viewer, the key-value system is half written and there is a new front page! Still lots to do…

opensteetmap has moved to a new machine, consolidating the api, applet and wiki.

So a lot has happened since the last post. The first actual street got entered today. Hopefully the site will move to php soon.

The applet has been rewritten to use openmap, which is cool. Also it loads a set amount of data and does it through a compressed stream. yay. Now need to add tools to delete temp points, add streets, and stuff. Oh and user authentication…

Went on a boat to Greenwich yesterday, and recoded the track down the thames. Funny that the gps recieved lots of data inside Greenwich market wich has a (obviously not very metalic) roof with iron beams (or something) across it.

phil gyford blogged about my talk at euroFOO here about openstreetmap and textbook.
