Hi All, Thanks for the feedback. I was going to make a survey to send out to everyone that participated, but I don't know if I'm going to have time. If anyone is interested in putting something simple 5-10 questions together let me know.
Having a template for adding these sorts of classification hints would be useful. Not sure where that best goes as a feature. Could fit directly into the Tasking Manager or just a wiki template. -Kate On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 10:41 AM, Michael Krämer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > 2012/5/30 Stéphane Henriod <[email protected]> >> >> During the exercise came some questions about the typologies of roads >> (residential vs. tracks vs. path...).
