Just as I have been about to give some feedback, the two mails from Sam
and Tim cam in. So I'm not the only one going through this.
But first of all a huge thanks for the tracing guide. This is something
I really appreciate as it helps a lot to come to some consistent tagging.
On the other hand I also found the tasks rather large. I had one
assigned by tasking manager which first looked like an easiy one: Mostly
open spaces, only a few paths and some buildings. But after looking more
closely I noticed that there were many huts, which take quite some time
to trace.
After I while I started using the following method in JOSM to trace the
huts:
- select a finished hut and copy the tags with ctrl-c
- press a and draw a line across the hut
- press shift-o to create the circle
- press ctrl-shift-v to past tags
Although this is rather fast, it still feels somewhat arduous looking at
the number of huts. Doing buildings with the building_tools plugin is
much faster. Unfortunatley I'm not familiar with Java, otherwise I would
probably rather try to create a corresponding plugin myself.
So I also decided to unlock my task again. Afterwards I noticed that the
changset contained 169 ways - most of the new. I didn't even start to
trace the landuse save even trees. So I also think the squares might be
too large, I guess a quarter of the current size would give more
manageable squares.
