So we've got a merge conflict generated by the fact that two of us were messing with some of the same files at the same time: https://github.com/TravelMapping/RailwayData/pull/8

This is a good reason for having it clearly established what contributors are responsible for what like we do with roads.

Yea, sorry - I'll try and fix that.

Edit: Fixed.

But of course subject to further subdivision should more people wish to contribute. Any objections? Anyone else wish to carve out turf for themselves?

I'll have Ireland, which you didn't give me, and any of Europe that michih doesn't want.

[michih]

Based on how things stand at the moment it looks like the following makes sense for what is whose domain...
North America: Duke87
Europe (except UK): michih
UK, Asia, Australia: Si404

All systems where I have travels without being updated to latest common understanding of the rules might see me updating later this month. I might also draft some systems later which are not yet in RB, e.g. Copenhagen metro or Zagreb trams. Dunno if I really want to step into Istanbul....
I see this as an one-time job for the time being.

Do we want to split maintenance by region - as with highways - or by system? If memory serves, the latter was suggested anywhere but I fail to find it.
Nevertheless, I'm in favor of reporting issues by system.

I did suggest by system, yes - at this time however it's effectively by region since you don't have any cases of different systems in the same region being claimed by different people. We can make sure we specify accordingly when/if that comes up.

[Bickendan]

I do have the Amtrak, TriMet MAX, WES, Portland Streetcar and Aerial Tram, and Willamette Shore Trolley drafted up, so I could take Oregon.

[Duke87]

How much of Amtrak?

If any of it is concurrent with commuter rail systems out east, hold on because you're gonna have to resync it with the cleanup I'm working on there.


Any rate, the Oregon systems are officially yours and OP updated to reflect this.

Again, temporarily for initial rework / draft only. Selected systems in DEU, CHE (Bern only), CZE (Praha only), DNK (Copenhagen only), FRA (Dijon, Marseille, Paris), ITA (Milano, Roma), HRV (Zagreb), POL (Warsaw) and maybe TUR (Istanbul).

Oregon only has the Empire Builder, Coast Starlight, and Cascades Amtrak lines.

[the_spui_ninja]

If we're going off of highway regions, ND and MT only have the Empire Builder line, WY has nothing, and Colorado has a couple Amtrak lines, RTD in Denver, and some tourist railroads.

If we're willing to move off of that, I'd be willing to draft the SLC and Denver rail networks (since I have a little experience with those), the Colorado tourist railroads, plus some other short lines that I know fairly well (Old Hill City railroad in SD, KCMO streetcar), but I don't want to step on anyone's toes.

We are not going off highway regions and are more than willing to move off that.

I don't think you will be stepping on anyone's toes.

[michih]

Is anyone willing to draft the subsequent systems by Mid September?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Belgrade
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_Sofia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Sofia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Metro
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Budapest

I might happen to be there in late September / early October.
I don't ask about Romania because I guess that panda80 will draft the systems >= October.

Go ahead

Added the SD tourist railroad to the top, I'll also do the airport trams in Detroit, Minneapolis, and Dallas (and any other US airports offered, but I've been to those three and Denver the most).

Hold on on that - currently I've been omitting airside people movers on the grounds that you can't ride them without a valid plane ticket from, to, or through the airport in question. I think it's best to avoid them out of scope creep, but this is worth broader discussion.
