Hey @GOwin,

There is an obscure page showing statistics on MapComplete: https://pietervdvn.github.io/mc/develop/?mode=statistics

I’ve updated it just now to include a filter “should have at least one image”. Then you can browse all the changesets which added a picture. However:

• this does not include the license of the image
• This does not work before october 2021, as this relies on a flag in the changeset metadata which was only added then
• (And as I just deployed, it still has to run through the pipeline; the ‘add-image’-filter should be online in about an hour)

Hi!

I’m the author of mapcomplete, and wanted to let you know that the waste map might be helpful for you

https://mapcomplete.osm.be/cyclofix allows to add bicycle racks on the field (if you zoom in enough)

Thanks for the encouragement!

This all started by chance, by PlantNet posting something on the dev mailing list ;)

Hi,

Yup! I know that these ML-identifications might not be perfect - which is why the end-user is still responsible of picking an appropriate species. Furthermore, the source (plantnet-ai) is indicated in both the changeset-tags and the object itself, so that other mappers know that this was an AI-detection.

Pictures are uploaded to IMGUR and must be available, that is where PlantNet fetches them too.

I’m aware of Waarnemingen.be (I’m from Belgium), but this integration was due to a mail on the dev mailing list. As it turned out, it was quite easy to integrate, so here we are :p

And privacy leaks are indeed an issue. In this case, the IP-address and those images are sent to plantnet, so that is acceptable. MapComplete does not collect info (only basic statistics via goatcounter), but leaks a bit about the user location via the changesets. This privacy of the mapper is however a broader discussion we should have within the community.

Hi Luque,

I’ve also made mapcomplete.osm.be/artwork to map artwork. This way, it is easy to add pictures on the go, and your mapping work will show up on other apps such as OSMAND.

Kind regards, Pieter

Hi @tordans,

There are definitively drawbacks to this approach of notes and MapRoulette would indeed be better (but is harder to setup).

I do agree that it doesn’t scale very well beyond a few 100 points per city; but within that reach it does work well. But for bigger datasets it’ll be too much.

Also have a look at the MapComplete theme about charging stations

@Minh_Nguyen: I do understand the concerns with ISCED-tagging, but they seem to be mostly US-centric issues and ISCED seems to be the most workable right now. I’ve written my thoughts on the wiki page.

About language: `language:xy’ on a language_school does become pretty confusing. If someone speaks “ab” and wants to learn “xy”, you’ll probably want to go to a school where the teachers and the administration speak “ab” and give the grammer rules in “ab”. To be consistent, we’d need to move the subject of teaching to some other key

@Kovoshiz: I also removed the distinction between professional and academic higher tertiary education.

@Kovoschiz: indeed, I didn’t discuss training. First of all, most mappers will search for ‘school’, e.g. ‘driving school’. IMHO this is why ‘training’ didn’t really pick up.

As an example: many music schools in my environment are tagged as amenity=school or even amenity=university. Why? Because in many languages, these are called schools.

I’m pretty fond of the idea of a general scheme such as training; but IMHO is training setup as a leftover.

@SimonPoole: Do you mean this thread? https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2022-April/064315.html

That one is mainly about the ISCED:2011-proposal and the main concern were the numerical codes instead of human-readable values, which has been fixed in the updated proposal which is more or less followed in the above text.

Hi,

Robin van der Linden recently created an awesome MapComplete-theme about recycling containers.

This might be useful for you!

Kind regards, Pieter

Hi b-unicycling,

We have (and had) very similar problems in Bruges, where heritage-buildings were vacant, rotted away and were demolished when they were on the brink of collapsing to make room for new, modern projects. It’s been better now though - one of the complexes around the corner from where I lived have been incorporated into a modern project, striking a compromise between modern needs and the architectural value of the old monastery. I was somewhat happy with the project, as it meant that at least something would be preserved after being vacant for over 40 (!) years.

Ironically, it has been squatted by a group of activists who did a good job in doing the most urgent repairs (ie fixing leaking roofs, cleaning bird corpses and closing wide-open windows); in the mean time turning the building into a very artistic spot. It was nice to visit them too, they did open days and music gigs every now and then.

Apart from that, we sometimes link heritage to our heritage website operator too.

@ftrebien: I finally got around uploading those images, nearly one year after taking them…

Hey Tauvic,

Ziet OpenStreetMap een rol voor zich in het beschikbaar stellen van informatie over goed begaanbare voetpaden?

Er is geen partij die antwoord kan geven ofdat OSM “zichzelf een rol ziet spelen in XYZ”. OpenStreetMap is op zich “maar” een databank. De regels over wat soort informatie in die databank mag, is vrij duidelijk: “geodata die ter plaatse waarneembaar is en ietwat permanent”.

Voetpaden vallen daar dus zeker en vast onder!

(Hoe deze voetpaden in de databank moeten, daar kan je redelijk wat over discussieren.)

Maar bon, wat ik dus wil zeggen: OSM is wat je ervan maakt. Daarom heb ik een editor gemaakt waar het makkelijk is om relevante informatie toe te voegen, zonder dat je daar technische kennis voor nodig hebt. Met deze https://mapcomplete.osm.be/nature?language=nl&filter-toggle=true#filters kan je alvast veel info toevoegen.

Met https://mapcomplete.osm.be/sidewalks kan je informatie over voetpaden aan de hoofdhighway toevoegen (noot: deze is nog erg in beta)

Edit @AgusQui: commenting on notes should work again

Hi AgusQui,

Could you please post this issue in the issue tracker? It might help to post the specific note, and the text you wanted to type. If possible, a console log can also help to see what precisely went wrong.

Kind regards, Pieter

That would ay least be a separate layer. I currently don’t have time to set this up, but I would gladly accept a PR to include this. Documentation is in the repo

Images are hosted on IMGur

There is a delete button, but you have to be logged-in to see it. Points are deleted, ways are stripped of their tags.

A ‘what is the phone number’ is included, but you have to go through the other questions first (click the ‘skip question’-button).
