It’s Easier To Contribute to OSM’s Website Now

Looks nice and much more user friendly!

There is probably a bug in the localisation (my settings are in french, I don’t know if it happens for other non-english languages):

  • When in osm.org/messages/inbox the two buttons are labelled “Ma boîte de réception” and “My Outbox”
  • When in osm.org/messages/outbox the are labelled “My Inbox” and “My Outbox”
  • In both cases they should be “Ma boîte de réception” and “Ma boîte d’envoi”
Open Table Tennis Switzerland

Are all the tennis table (leisure=pitch + sport=table_tennis) supposed to be outdoor, and those inside mapped with (leisure=sports_hall+ sport=table_tennis)? or should we add a specific tag location=outdoor

Is the access=public/private widely used? for example, a lot of tennis tables inside closed school grounds (in leisure=schoolyard) are only for students so should be tagged as private

the wiki is not really clear about that

Give me advices

It depends on how already detailed is your area.

If they are not already there, I’d begin with roads names, then house numbers. Then places of interest as public buildings (schools, sport centres, parks) and shops (with their contact and openings hours).

another good thing is to map what is usufull for you/what you usally look at when you look at a map, it helps to keep mapping meaningful.

StreetComplete is great to add informations but the geometry of the elements (point, ligne or area) must be already mapped, so to add new elements, you’ll need OSMAnd (only for ponctuals elements AFAIK) or Vespucci

welcome to hot_tech...

Welcome all, it looks like an awesome team. it’s great to see more of the real people behind the maps!

OSMUS Community Chronicles

any idea for the 2 peaks of new contributors in 2017? was it because of pokemon go?

Changesets: few and bulky or many and light?

On iD, i had a few bad experiences with big sets (>50) being lost after a refresh of the page.

So I’d recommend smaller sets to limit the risk of losing your work and track of what you were working on.

I find it also easier to correct errors on smaller sets when you submit them.

Voie verte trans Ardennes

Cool (à la fois pour la voie verte et pour la carte) merci de l’ajout

est-ce que l’ancien itinéraire par la D 46DA est maintenu (marquage, etc…)? (osm.org/relation/370404#map=14/50.1002/4.8098) il faudra peut-être supprimer ces tronçons de la relation
