Hi Jeff,

That’s great; not sure about that town specifically, but there’s a great OSM community in Mexico. You should consider joining their mailing list: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-mx

Also noticed you haven’t made any edits to OSM yet, so if you’re looking for some guidance to get started, visit http://learnosm.org/

Happy Mapping!

Hi again Tom,

As related to my comment in your other post - would love to have your assistance maybe building a LearnOSM module for Field Papers and/or help thinking about TM developments to better facilitate Field Papers. Probably best to bring it up at the HOT Training and/or Tech working group meeting(s): osm.wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Team/Working_groups

Hi Tom,

I hope you’re already on the HOT mailing list. During the recent Activation Curriculum Workshops it was brought up to build some more connectivity with Field Papers and the Tasking Manager, let’s chat about it sometime.

Careful, OSM can be addictive; to help facilitate this, I mean get a better understanding of the project - check out http://learnosm.org

Happy Mapping!

Hi and welcome to OSM, a great place to learn about the project is http://learnosm.org/

Happy Mapping,

Thanks Arushi!

That’s great Tassia! Thanks for the update!

Excellent! Thank you for the information Maning, keep up the good work!

Hi lewis1286,

Have fun! But I also see someone deleted the point you entered, I hope maybe they contacted you directly to say why. I didn’t dig too deep into what happened there, but from your changeset comment it seemed maybe you were trying to add a ‘viewpoint’? These are usually designated things, not just any place with a good view. See osm.wiki/Tag:tourism%3Dviewpoint

I hope that helps, it looks like the area you put that point could use a lot more map data to represent the natural beauty, if you want to add that kind of data to the map, visit osm.wiki/Natural

Happy Mapping,

Haha, why RSS feed of course osm.org/diary/rss - however, it doesn’t make seeing the comments quick and easy :)

That’s great Pete! Thanks for the info, make sure to bring those ideas (and/or people) to the various HOT working groups.

Hi ECITampa,

Not my area of expertise, but have you looked at this wiki-page?: osm.wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmilestone

Hope that helps - also the diary is less effective for asking questions than say the mailing lists or https://help.openstreetmap.org/

Happy Mapping!

=Russ

Thank You!

Feel free to reach me: Russell.Deffner@hotosm.org if you need help, have questions.

And we appreciate the effort, I hope you were able to find one (or more), but each could potentially improve the response, perhaps save lives. If you are not sure your time was well spent, or for some help, please join the HOT mailing list: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot

Thank you,

Hello Stephen,

Mostly the diary is just that - a place to log/track your OSM related contributions. Some people (like me) follow the RSS feed, so it can also be used as a bit of a conversation tool, but the mailing lists, forum and help sites are usually a better way to ask questions.

But welcome to OSM and if you are looking for a bit of a starter guide, I would suggest http://LearnOSM.org

Happy Mapping,

=Russ

Great! Welcome to OpenStreetMap, for a good place to start check out LearnOSM.org

Happy Mapping!

It works! Hello, and welcome to OpenStreetMap for some instruction to get you started visit: http://LearnOSM.org

Thanks Will, good to meet you as well! And just to note, I also made a small financial contribution to HOT as well! You still have a bit of time (if you’re in the US) to make a (2014) tax deductible donation to HOT: http://hot.openstreetmap.org/donate

Hi, I looked and you do have the one ‘changeset’ (editing session) where you added this one node - osm.org/node/3145554676 - it looks like you added the museum. Although the changes are immediate (or near) to the database, it takes a little while for the map to be rendered with the new data. Feel free to reach out to me and take a look at http://LearnOSM.org for more instruction.

Happy Mapping, =Russ

Sandered17: I just added the multipolygon relation, didn’t adjust/move the tags since it was a ‘simple’ multipolygon; please feel free to change.
