[OSM-talk] remapping in sydney
Hi everyone, Here's a map I made of the remapping efforts in Sydney. The users represented are those using Simon Poole's Task Manager [1] to remap the area - I'm sure there other mappers who have done significant repairs but haven't been using the task manager. Specifically, these are all the nodes created or edited by remappers the two weeks between July26 and August 7. The map was made with Tilemill [2] and a really long OverpassAPI call [3]. You can see how many nodes were either created or edited by each user in this gist [4]. the map: https://tiles.mapbox.com/villeda/map/map-m7isafy8 You can make similar visualizations following this guide [5], but I'm particularly interested in how visualizations like this could be helpful in motivating remapping efforts, and what we can do to make progress visualizations like this one more better + more effective. I'm excited to hear feedback, or where else visualizations might be useful.

[OSM-talk] Remapping - who needs help?
Over here at MapBox we're structuring our remapping priorities right now. Starting with end of August we'll have better tracing capacities again (some folks are going out for vacation). If you can use help with tracing / repairing that can be done remotely, please let me know.

Montenegro's loss is a bit less than Australia but they have nearly no mapper (I am aware of one)very poor country.

[OSM-talk] Remapping
I have attempted to contact user Sunny using the OSM messaging system. Sunny was an active user about 4 years ago. Since I haven't heard back, how do I know if their email address is still valid? Does OSM give a reject message if the message bounces? One other question. Sunny added streets using TIGER data. (Imported?) If I replace the data, all the TIGER data goes away. Is that something I should worry about? -- Clifford I have promised to cut down on my swearing and drinking, which I have. Unfortunately, this has left me dim-witted and nearly speechless.

Is that something I should worry about? Don't worry about losing the TIGER reference tags - just copy the street name and any tags added by accepting users. One situation is where a declining user added an obvious tag, such as oneway = yes. I've just been deleting the whole way (a simple way such as a motorway link) and redoing it to the aerial image. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
