I'd like to replace it with something that displays where the bot has

First "preview" version is here:

http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/debug.html?view=bot&lon=8.55688&lat=48.88608&zoom=5

It shows stuff edited by the bot and stuff deleted by the bot.

Stuff edited by the bot is shown in its current geometry; stuff deleted by the bot is shown with its old geometry (what else) and when clicked, an excerpt of the deleted object's tags is shown. I assume that this will draw criticism from some (who fear this is an invitation to infringe a decliner's copyright) but I think it is important to be able to get a glimpse of exactly *what* has been deleted so that you can decide whether you want to go there and survey or whether that was an un-important (or long replaced) detail.

Things that don't work yet:

* The "overview" layer is wrong, it actually shows the old WTFE overview and not the bot-edited-or-deleted overview, so you have to zoom in to see details.

* The various buttons on the right don't necessarily make sense (why call Potlatch for a deleted node etc.)

* Updates aren't yet automated; the plan is to be relatively quick with dropping stuff from the map as soon as it is edited by someone.

* It would be great to have a way of "clearing" the deleted-object markers from the map.

Once these things are fixed, or at least a significant portion, I'll make the view available on the non-debug OSMI, support tile access, and announce more widely.

Comments are welcome.

Bye
Frederik
