Projects for the Autumn and onwards

Publicado por EsmondJS el 27 agosto 2017 en English.

A couple of projects I’d like to work on for the coming months, on which I welcome any involvement, contribution, or collaboration. I’m mainly writing this for my own reference.

  • Add in detail for residential areas of Edinburgh. Focussing particularly on gardens, which when rendered on the OSM default can produce strange discrepancies in how a neighbourhood ‘looks’ (cf. leafy Corstorphine with adjacent Craigmount or Clermiston)

  • Continue contributing to my old hometown of Macclesfield - residential buildings, suburbia, etc.

  • One that particularly interests me is adding Natural England’s Natural Character Areas. This carving up of England kinda fascinates me as a human attempt to define England’s entire ‘natural’ boundaries, irrespective of particulars like AONB or National Parks. If anyone can point me to similar plans that exist for the other countries in the UK, particularly Scotland, that’d be appreciated.

Might be worth posting in https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-scotland/ or contacting the mappers from Edinburgh Uni who seem to be doing most of the work on buildings/gardens/walls etc.

If you can survey areas, then having a look for OSM notes to resolve, or issues in QA tools like Osmose and keepright can be useful for the map.

Thanks for the pointer, that’s very helpful!
