Thanks for sharing – and organizing this! I really like this process and think we should have more of it.

Danke fürs Teilen. Das Video hilft sehr um einen Überblick zu bekommen.

Mir fällt noch https://osm.wikidata.link/ ein, das auch OSM und Wikidata vergleicht.

I never get tired of seeing improvements to the map like this.

Same :-) 👏

It could be worth creating a theme for https://github.com/pietervdvn/MapComplete for your usecase.

Pieter Vander Vennet’s talk on this years SOTM gives a good overview: https://media.ccc.de/v/sotm2021-9448-introduction-and-review-of-mapcomplete

It could be worth creating a theme for https://github.com/pietervdvn/MapComplete for your usecase. That would allow for a single-purpose mobile editing experience (with build in visualisation). However, it is a browser app, so offline support is limited.

Thank you for a great and very easy to use app!

Thanks AntoJvlt!

Hi AntoJvlt, thanks for sharing!

How can I resolve an issue on https://gsoc2021-qa.nominatim.org/osmoscope/#map=14.618837772215969/13.40799/52.49792&l=https://gsoc2021-qa.nominatim.org/QA-data/same_wikidata/osmoscope-layer/layer.json as false positive? Example: osm.org/node/473867813 (State Berlin) and osm.org/node/240109189 (City Berlin) both reference https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q64?uselang=de which represents State + City. Being able to mark cases like this as false positive will make it easier to work with the QA Tool.

Danke fürs Teilen!

Vielen Dank fürs Teilen! Sehr interessant!

Vielen Dank @Supaplex030, eine tolle Visualisierung und Auswertung! Ein hervorragendes Beispiel für das Potential von OpenData und OSM.

Thank you all for your encouraging comments!

@voschix: I did not reasearch the insurance dimension of this. I make sure the whole thing can move in the direction of travel (or oposite) if I get stuck in a tree or something, the whole thing moves and does not break. Other aspects would need more testing to find out more.

@ibanez thanks for sharing your setup.

I will experiment with video at some point. And test out the --interpolate_directions option soon, thanks.

“freedom of panorama” – thanks for the link. I tried getting more clarity from Mapillary and other sources without much success. For now I will wait and see what happens.

Tolle Recherche, danke fürs teilen. Interessehalber: das klingt für mich nach einem guten Fall für alt_name=…kanal (um den alternativen Namen auch zu dokumentieren), oder?

Thank you for taking the time to share this!

Hi qeef, just in case … do you know https://mappingnorthkorea.com/map / https://github.com/MRVDH/mapping-north-korea which is also a kind of Tasking Manager Tool, but just for north korea.

Also a quick feedback: Personally, I am not a fan of the name. It sound negative, which is a bad starting point for something good IMO :-)

Best, Tobias

Thanks @mmd. The quick-edit-fork-and-PR-flow is really awesome and easy and I was surprised to see it’s a feature since 2011 https://github.blog/2011-04-26-forking-with-the-edit-button/ (but was improved a lot since those screenshots).

@mvexel Thanks for this discussion, tool and writeup. I wonder if we are getting at this from the wrong side.

OSM already has plenty of tooling to ask for feedback by the local community. But we have next to no tooling to trigger notifications for those questions. As a result, most of the existing feedback goes unanswered.

Some examples:

Notes on the map

I write a note on the map somewhere. Right now no one will notice except by accident or some power user who actively look for it. So ATM, my node will likely be un answered for ages if ever.

What is missing? Notifications. Mappers that know the area where I placed the node should get a notification and be able to react to it.

There are several ways to solve this – one idea is below.

Fixme keys and changeset comments and changeset-review-requested-keys.

Same as notes above. I can write them, but no one will notice. We need tooling to get people to notice. Or to make it easier for people to discover them.

So instead of looking for a way to contact “nearby mapper”, why not look for a way to make it easier for mappers to see what is discussed nearby?

Contacting nearby mapper has two disadvantages: It’s only 1on1. Or, if you add groups, it’s another layer of communication; which OSM already has too many of (telegram, mail, forum, changesets, nodes, 1on1).

Related: I wrote about this as a proposal for a GSOC project. The idea is buried in the changelog ATM, so I will copy it here for reference:

Subscribe to changes for a region I know well

Summary: Wikipedia has a simple but powerfull tool to increase the quality of a page: Whenever I edit it, I can also subscribe to changes. This way I can contribute to the quality of the article over time. It also helps against bad edits. (More https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilfe:Beobachtungsliste). — OSM does not have a well integrated solution for this usecase. Ideally, this tool where integrated tightly with the OSM website and iD Editor to allow a one click subscription to changes in the current region. The tool would send emails with a helpful summary of the change and encourage nice replies to changes (positive or contructive). The tool will continues to send emails until the user stops reacting to the emails (same as Wikipedia).

Notes: Related: The closes that OSM has to solve this, is OSMCha: You can create a filter for a region and subscribe it via RSS. However, both steps are quite complicated. And also, the RSS view and mobile view of OSMCha in general do not help a lot when reviewing those changes while on the go. See https://github.com/mapbox/osmcha-frontend/issues/345 for more.

@acsd I just came across this commercial curb project and though it has similarities to your great micro editor. So FYI some links: - https://coord.co/curbs - https://coord.co/explorer/sf#37.79330700003739,-122.40008303292501@16 - https://medium.com/coord/behind-the-curbs-building-the-curb-map-883bab281feb

Thank you for sharing all this details. I found it very nice to read - especially with all those good illustrations/examples. This looks like a great process and great contribution to me.

This comic sums it up pretty nicely: https://xkcd.com/927/

IMO, the OSM community has more important projects that are closer to its core then replacing Github …
