One thing that could really help is to collect/gather all errors reported or detected in a single database with some read/write/search API.
Instead of having to check half dozen of sites/tools like OSMinspector, KeepRight, Osmose and other more dedicated error detection scrips available is many places, such a centralized DB could help local contributors to check/fix errors in their area. I proposed something like that during an unconferenced talk I had in last SOTM in Tokyo. In France, we created Osmose with that centralized DB approach. It works with a frontend to visualize errors on a map, but also providing lists by area/users, as well as graphs. The backend are in fact multiple backends which provide error/improvement lists thru XML files to the frontend DB. http://osmose.openstreetmap.fr/ (not worldwide coverage) Who would like to join such a global project ? _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
