Quick and dirty OSM statistics with bash and jq | Yes, see osm.wiki/Overpass_API/Overpass_QL#Times_and_Divided |

Quick and dirty OSM statistics with bash and jq | You can probably generate the same output with a single Overpass query without any external shell script. Check out osm.wiki/Overpass_API/Overpass_API_by_Example#Wiki_table_generator_.28since_0.7.54.29 for some ideas. |

Making a simple textual change to the "switch2osm.org" site | There’s really no need to fork the repository on your own. Just go to https://github.com/switch2osm/switch2osm.github.io, locate the file you want to change, and hit the edit (“pencil”) icon. Github will automatically fork the repository for you in the background and guide you through the pull request process without much hassle. It’s really that simple. |

Quick update on Maxar imagery | They indicated elsewhere (obviously without disclosing any details) that bad actors outside of OSM are scraping imagery. impacting their service. This HOT mapathon stuff mentioned earlier on is pretty much fake news, after all. |

Quick update on Maxar imagery | Just adding a pointer to previous work by Roland on API keys: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/2145 |

The OSM community deserves a better openstreetmap.org | Thanks for sharing your ideas. No doubt, the current ‘minimalistic style’ osm.org has some advantages, which tend to be forgotten in this kind of discussion. Most importantly, the whole OSM ecosystem can evolve at a much higher speed compared to a more centralized model: you get the API and the data, now go ahead and create some cool stuff with it. Bringing everything on osm.org might further increase the workload on OWG+sysadmins to a point where it may be no longer manageable. It adds lots of coordination effort, which even further reduces available time to do something productive. In the long run, I see a significant maintenance burden for every new feature being added. I do believe it is essential to evolve some of the features, in particular social and community support. However, do it one step at a time, with a clear focus (!) on something that is both achievable and adds value to the osm community. We shouldn’t try to compete in areas where it doesn’t make sense (hosting images, yet another chat or video tool,…). I agree with others, it would be good to have some form of consensus about the target audience we want to address on osm.org. |

Calculating total length of paths in Sweden | I don’t really know why you would want to add random statistics about OSM to wikidata, those seem fairly random at best. I mean I’m pretty sure there some sites out there crunching OSM planet files and producing some stats on a regular basis. If anyone wants to see those numbers, I would never head for Wikidata and always consult the real source. |

Calculating total length of paths in Sweden | by the way, here’s the query I used: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/OhF |
|
Calculating total length of paths in Sweden | According to Overpass API, there’s a total of 149813 highway=path ways with a total length of 52521 km in Sweden. |

iD editor: It is time for us to end this abusive relationship | No, it definitely not v2.15. Take a look at https://preview.ideditor.com/release which hosts v2.16 and see how they differ. Did you notice that http://id.openstreetmap.fr/ is in fact based on the master branch, and looks very much like https://preview.ideditor.com/master. The master branch is where the future development for v3 happens. There’s a dedicated branch for v2.15, though. |

iD editor: It is time for us to end this abusive relationship |
I hope you’re aware that http://id.openstreetmap.fr/ was built by patching a still unreleased iD v3 version, and modifying some of its JSON configuration settings. It reflects some intermediate development state of a future iD version, where hundreds of changes and fixes have been contributed in the meantime. Then, https://github.com/frodrigo/iD doesn’t provide any way to file any issues on its own. Needless to say that this overall approach won’t fly. |

Markdown vs Kramdown | Also, das Problem hier war ein zusätzliches Leerzeichen zwischen dem […] und dem (link) : Vielleicht kannst du ja nochmal einen Blick auf deine anderen Blog posts werfen und dort selbst die Links geradeziehen. |
|
Markdown vs Kramdown | Ich habe jetzt einen Kommentar zum ursprünglichen Pull Request ergänzt: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/2111#issuecomment-457824097 |
|
Markdown vs Kramdown | Nein. Dein passiv aggressiver Ton passt hier echt nicht rein. Wenn du ein Problem hast, mach halt ein Issue auf Github auf und schildere dort sachlich dein Problem, ohne zu unterstellen, dass die Maintainer oder Admins die letzten Deppen sind, die es einfach nicht gebacken kriegen. |

Markdown vs Kramdown | Also mit Bild innen und Link außen tut das ohne Probleme: http://www.disturbancesinthewash.net/journal/2012/8/11/how-to-add-an-image-with-link-in-markdown.html |

OSM APP | That’s just spam! |

Some numbers about mailing lists (part 2): Number of messages per mailing list and year, most active authors since 2016 | Looking at the huge number of communication channels on osm.wiki/Contact_channels and all related sites mentioned there, I think that would be quite a massive task. Unlike the mailing list archive with its single server and uniform access, each platform has some different kind of API, if at all. Some platforms might require you to sign up first (e.g. Slack), and scraping websites might violate their ToUs. Lots of project related communication also happens on various issue tracker (Github, Trac, etc.), and keeping track of them isn’t exactly trivial. Also, people sometimes use different nicknames on different platforms, which makes it a bit more difficult to link profiles. To sum up, we’re probably looking at hundreds if not thousands of different channels that would need to be covered for a somewhat comprehensive view. And all that keeps changing over time. |

Some numbers about mailing lists (part 2): Number of messages per mailing list and year, most active authors since 2016 | Pretty obvious I would say. Mailing lists are 1870’s technology, and lots of people use different communication channels today that are more familiar and convenient to them. I for one find it quite annoying that I cannot edit my mailing list posts after sending. If there’s one thing those figure are not indicative for, is that the overall osm project related traffic is declining. It’s simply spread across so many more channels. |

Der Weg zur SotM 2018 |
Not sure where you’re getting this, the original doesn’t have that sentence repeated. Maybe some glitch in your translation tool? |

Changeset upload is in production since May 2019, as part of CGImap 0.7.5 | Testing continues on the OSM Dev server now: https://upload.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org/ See this link for details. |
