Hi,
I agree that more is needed. Based upon the problems I was finding when
validating, I've started to produce a guide
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Tallguy/Thoughts_%26_ideas/Beginners_guide
but it is at an early stage, and requires updating now that TM2 is out.
I feel that there is a gap between 'how to map', and what you actually
need to do to start to map for HOT. If we can produce a guide that
covers how to map your first square showing how to avoid the common
mistakes, maybe we can stop most of them.
http://mapgive.state.gov/ <http://mapgive.state.gov/> have a very good
guide to mapping with iD
As a temporary thing, I've linked both off of
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Tasking_Manager but the main
wiki on the Tasking manager needs updating now we have TM2.
My initial thought, is that TM2's release gives the perfect time to
update the wiki. The wiki is really under the wrong heading - it's main
name is 'OSM_Tasking_Manager, but it deals with a number of things
including JOSM offsets & validating.
It would be good if there was some discussion & a consensus as to what
goes where, and how we are going to get it there.
Regards
Nick (Tallguy)

Hi Rafael,
Sounds like a great idea. The InaSAFE project uses Transifex not just
for translating the software but also for translating the
documentation. The one issue in mind holding back the switch over is
that LearnOSM is in many languages now, so I would see the steps as
follows.
1. Update the English documentation and get it into Transifex.
2. Retranslate documentation from other languages.
This would be painful certainly the first time, but then in the future
if the documentation was updated on the sections that were changed
would show up as in need of translation. Is that the method you see?
Some of the HOT Indonesia team can speak to the issues with
translating documentation in Transifex. The biggest issue I think
(correct me if I'm wrong team) is if the "master" documentation
language has a lot of tweaks. Meaning it works best if there is a
"release" of the documentation and then the translations start.
Best,
-Kate

Hi all:
I wonder if we can gather some people interested in boosting the
LearnOSM project. Now that the new Tasking Manager is out, it could be
really nice to improve the learning/training materials. In my opinion,
there are at least two points that need to improve:
1) Translation through git is not a good idea, as it is very
complicated for most of the people. Would it be possible to carry the
translation through Transifex, like with the Tasking Manager and uMap,
for example? Images would be left aside of the translation, but there
can be an smart way to deal with that.
2) Reorganize the material, and probably create some more.
Cheers,
Rafael.
