How the work is split / who maintains what regions (CHM/TravelMapping)

There's nothing to maintain here, other than the territorial roads. My adding the territory (but not Guam or American Samoa) to the list and putting my name to it was me bagging it. I have drafts, but I have no clue as to whether they are signed or not.
The 'Elsewhere' category should be starred as well, for the obvious reasons of not having all the expressway systems in, nor the continental ones outside eure, nor provincial ones outside the British Isles. Though I'll claim some of those remaining systems, of course...

I think there's still a bit of work to do before new people fully join in, but do message Oscar or Jim.

As you've seen, I've just taken that liberty.

Good morning all,
I am very excited to find that CHM has resurfaced here under Travel Mapping. I have been talking with Jim and would like to come back and help with the project. For now, I would like to take back Louisiana under my umbrella, and resume maintenance work on the state and continue development on the LA state highway system.
Would anybody be able to provide any assistance in terms of things that have changed, which waypoint editor (if there are multiple) should be used, etc. I think I have retained my knowledge of the rules that were in place with CHM, and have browsed the forums here and noted a few of the changes that have occurred.
Thanks, and looking forward to the development of this project.
-Michael

You can still use the existing waypoint editor on the CHM site. I still do; it's my preferred interface.
The biggest change is that we're now using GitHub, for the most part, to submit changes. Sign up and have a look around -- I've found the web interface to be pretty intuitive mostly, and have been using it to edit/create individual files, create (and delete) new branches of my repositories, and make pull requests.
What I've had more trouble with is using the commandline Git tool to commit batches of multiple files. Thus for the TX state highways (and loops & spurs), I'll be using the old CHM method of emailing a ZIP to Jim and having him do the commit. So that's still an option, if Git doesn't work for you. (Doesn't have to be Jim; I believe Oscar or Si have handled updates for some of the other collabs.)
There's the new CSV format for writing update text - have you seen that yet here on AARoads?
I don't think there's anybody officially maintaining Louisiana yet, but I've done a little unofficial maintenance: I extended the Belcher I-49 segment to the AR line, and that's all I can remember doing.
That, and I've just... NOW! put in a pull request for a small reroute at the south end of US371 between I-49 and US84. I only edited the affected US routes, however; no changes to state route files.

Thanks for the info Eric. I found my link to the CHM waypoint editor and like it so I will use that. I have already familiarized myself with Github, I think I have a decent idea how to use it. I did successfully put through a pull request for my .list file and made my own fork of the highway data, so I suppose that's a start. And I set it up for notifications so I had already seen your LA updates today. I had not seen the updates CSV, I will check that out.
So, unless you have any other edits to make, I'll take over maintenance for LA and start working on the state highways again.
