Open Street Map question

[Colin McGregor]

Is there a limited volume ideally Ontario centric Open Street Map mailing list?

As I have noted in other e-mails, earlier this month I was up in Perth
ON, and I have tossed up material I collected with a cheap GPS
receiver from that trip, but I have run into small issues from the
trip. like:

- In behind the Perth town hall is a bandstand, a roughly 20' across
octagon that raises a band maybe 3' above the ground, and provides a
roof in case of rain/snow. Okay, so how does one tag something like
that? For now I have used the "Arts Centre" tag, as it is a performing
arts location (of the most basic sort), but is there a better tag?

- How do you insert traffic lights into the maps. For Perth the two
key intersections with traffic lights (there are a few other not so
key intersections) are at Gore/Foster and Foster/Wilson...

- I have run into oddities with JOSM map editor, and managed by
accident to turn a small island into a roadway. A mistake I don't want
to repeat, so getting answers on the use of JOSM would be nice...

I am currently subscribed to the main MythTV mailing list, a nice
list, but I could not cope with a similar volume of Open Street Map
related e-mails, thus the interest in a limited volume mailing list...

Thanks.
