Today Marks The End Of My Edits

We all reach the point where we get sick of mapping, for various reasons of course. Mainly for losing the interest.

Take care and be safe

hi

Hello there

First diary entry.

Hello Sophie.

That’s some great contribution and involvement over there. Gj

Flat number vs house number? Looking forward to read the post, mainly because I don’t really see how can someone confuse them. In my opinion, house number means the building, and flat number the part of the building.

2020 Editor Usage

Those are interesting stats. Thanks for sharing the cumulation.
I see JOSM is used as massively as iD.

Back from the Dead

I guess your Internet connection improved at a good time (lockdown intesifies)

Revitalize Diversity and Inclusion in OSMF

Great concept indeed, but maybe the lack of activity is on not enough promotion and general lack of interest.

The original reason I started editing OpenStreetMap

That’s indeed the most frequent reason most people started mapping in OSM. Great job.

Changesets has reached 10,000 with 10 years after join to OSM

That’s an amazing journey, great work. Don’t burnout yourself and stay positive with the people around you.

Turkish OpenStreetMap Documentation / Türkçe OpenStreetMap Belgelendirmesi

That’s awesome, great job.

Changesets: few and bulky or many and light?

This makes sense to be honest. One changeset for a specific type of edits, so to be easier to track down in the future what edits and where those are. Or even multiple types of edits, but within a specific area, in a style of segmenting a bigger area.

I like your thinking everyone, it’s amazing to read such logical ways of editing and at the same time to view several random changesets viewable in my area because other people like to do edits in different part of the Earth in the same changeset. :D

First diary entry

Welcome to the activity of OSM (since you are registered from 2012 :d).

Well, even though Diaries may not be a common means of communication (because not many people use/read them), in my opinion it still serves as a good way of direct QnA style for mappers via this website (and therefore the iD editor). Although it may be difficult to find many non-English users to direct some post towards, but it becomes a good archive :d

Yes, “diaries” is referred usually to personal stories/experiments, but in the context of OpenStreetMap it became more of a presentation of propositions/tools/regional updates. Still lovely :d

Like others, I also would describe contribution to OpenStreetMap similar to contributing to Wikipedia. Improving/adding stuff you know and that are useful enough to be mentioned, along with quality-citations wherever possible to ensure that no one will disclaim your words (ok, a bit harsh :P).

fixation

:( don’t leave us yet

Correcting/improving stuff in your area is cool

New project to do i18n on Mapnik-based maps is here - "osm-wikinames"

That’s pretty amazing concept and illustration. And of course, as you shown in the examples, it all depends on how much completed are the wiki data about any place in any language.

Serbian in this case, indeed has a weirdly wide coverage of several pages in Wikidata and Wikipedia of any language, unlike other big languages do.

That’s an incredible work and co-operation.

GSoC Indoor Tagging Support

That looks awesome. Great job with the useful additions over there.

Hi

Hello there Luke, welcome actively to OSM (cuz I see you did some edits back in 2019).

Just a heads up that Bing imagery may seem to be offset. Don’t necessarily re-align roads/buildings before you verify, if possible, with GPS traces. You can change the imagery by the “Background Settings” on the menu to the right.

Local Chapters websites - and lessons learned from them

It’s interesting that in few cases, countries may appear to have more than one local chapter.

I also understand that time by time local communities change in such a way they may not be as organized as before or the opposite. Meaning that what we see currently as active local chapter, we may not view it the same in few years.

Hey, I'm Sanish
