Saujana Prima, Kajang

Posted by nyem on 21 July 2008 in English.

Got some track around Giant Saujana Prima, Kajang while on my way to Semenyih this aternoon. There used to be only rubber trees in this area about 8 years ago, now fully replaced with a small township. Definitely will revisit this area again to collect more tracks and road names. Pasar Malam Jenaris held nearby on Sundays is quite a good source for cheap fresh produce, good enough a reason to travel all the way here to collect tracks.

author name in JOSM

Posted by nyem on 21 July 2008 in English.

OK, as bro sabre23t insisted I might start putting something on my diary. Here's an issue that I'd like to highlight.

Part of my workflow to create routable map via mapcenter2 is to have the tiles loaded in JOSM for validation checking. Some nodes created by sabre23t in Potlatch are detected as 'duplicated nodes' by JOSM validating tools. When I clicked on the fix button and upload the changes, JOSM shows my name as the author of those ways. I don't want that as others, especially new users, might think that I'm so crazy for recognition to have my name on ways created by them.

I wish those ways maintained the original author's name, or maybe list out all the people who have edited that ways. Showing the last person that made some minor changes might give a different idea to some people. Or maybe JOSM should rename the label as 'Last Editor' instead 'Author'.

I'll wait and see if osmarender shows my name or sabre23t - osm.org/?lat=3.03693&lon=101.43229&zoom=17&layers=0B0FTF
