The new OpenGeofiction Overpass server is now live at overpass.opengeofiction.net/ and the old one is no longer accessible

Experimenting with a refreshed Overpass (experimental mmd fork) & Overpass Turbo server for OpenGeofiction... Looks like the clone was just as the new Auto Styler feature hit @tyr

It's useful to occasionally download the output of the coastline process into @qgis buffer the rings layer by 22km and then dissolve. Can then export that out and into JOSM

But keeping the 22 km maritime boundaries right is another problem, with mappers trying their best. Parallel Ways in @josmeditor falls apart for this task

We have a responsive coastline process, adapted from @openstreetmap but much more responsive, loading valid coastlines, on a per continent basis, twice an hour

One of the challenges of our #imaginarymaps world of #opengeofiction is that coastlines and territory boundaries are constantly changing

@chris damn, gutted I missed that - would have been interesting

Michisaukee is the first open collaborative state in the Federal States. Like other "blue" territories in OpenGeofiction, all mappers are welcome to edit in the state; however, there are some restrictions as to what can or cannot be mapped.

We at Wikimedia Foundation (the non-profit that keeps Wikipedia running) are hiring Senior SRE for databases and Senior DBA. It's a fun work in large scale and for a good cause where you get to work with a lot of smart people.
