At the recent NYPL workshop someone (and I have forgotten who, apologies!) suggested that the Tasking Manager seems like a good tool for tracing a sequence of historical maps from an atlas. The NYPL digitizer which people mapped tens of thousands of buildings had some issues in a workshop setting when participants were working on adjacent areas, and I think people had a bit of confusion from time to time about who was working in which areas.
The Irish Townlands project, however, uses a list of maps as far as I can tell: http://www.townlands.ie/progress/ but has much more detail about progress of the mapping, and any conflicts etc. I think the project gives a wonderful resource for cutting edge collaborative OSM usage On 24 November 2014 at 23:10, Jeff Meyer <[email protected]> wrote: > Laura - > > I'd just like to make sure that the response to your email doesn't seem > too-too-will-o-the-wisp! > > Have you seen the response to the digest thread? > > I think we might take up Susanna on her offer to attend the Wikimaps > meeting, but my guess is we have enough issues of our own that will warrant > our own meeting schedule.
