Frustration with uncertainty

Postitas HannesHH kuupäeval 16. aprill 2008 – English.

The last few months spent a lot of time into mapping the western parts of Hamburg, Germany by bike and foot. Now the map is in a state where most streets and ways are present.

And since I feel like a proud daddy for this region I want to "maintain" it. I want to be able to track any changes, I want to be able to see who did what when. I want to be able to discuss, compare, revert.

Searching through the wiki (painful these days, couldn't someone make a browsable static copy of the pages it until the performance issues are solved? I'd volunteer to host it.) I could not find any way to do this. But maybe there is?

Being able to track changes and maintain your area more easily is something that a lot of people want to do, but it's not very easy to do so at the moment. It's being worked apon - we need to make some changes to OSM to make this easier (like change sets and more 'wiki features').

if you want to watch your nodes you can tag them and watch them through the OSMXAPI osm.wiki/index.php/XAPI However I will wait for a proper implementation by bbox or polygon.

The (huge) drawback with the API "hack" is that it won't cover new nodes. :\
Well, hopefully this will come some day, I think it is very important. Especially on growing publicity.
