I've tried editing just now and it looks like GoogleDoc approach is better, considering that any newbie can point-and-click on either OSM or Google Map, press permalink, then cut & paste the lat long info into the GoogleDocs spreadsheet. The GoogleMap & OSM links are auto-generated. Coolness :-)
All can see the progress of the project immediately. We can fill-up the address information. Then maybe, we can reinsert the crowd-sourced address data gathered here back to OSM via the available map editors. By then, the unmapped POI's from the list can be hunted down on field by mappers using GPS; then put the 'source' as gps or mapper. We finish the project early... We should have done this a long time a go :-) On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 11:23 AM, Ed Garcia <eppgar...@gmail.com> wrote: > Guys, > > My two centavos worth ... > > would it not be easier if we just place a special tag on such POIs on OSM > (maybe NCCA=yes or some other tag) then harvest them all via OSMosis later? > That way, it eliminates transcribing errors. > > :>) ed > > > On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 10:59 AM, maning sambale > <emmanuel.samb...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> I added a few.
