John, Last night I validated one of the tasks (I have done quite a bit of validating before on a couple of other projects). I ran into these dilemmas:
1) If the instructions explicitly say not to map something (e.g. tracks) but some were mapped and were done so correctly by the generally accepted practices in OSM, do you leave them? I did. 2) If something was mapped that the African Highway Tagging[1] doesn't cover, but we might otherwise in the larger OSM map, what does a validator do? For example, highway=service. Does one "force fit" the mapped way into the African Tagging (e.g. perhaps highway=service becomes highway=residential), use what is generally accepted in OSM, or? Thanks, Mike [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa On Thu, Apr 7, 2016 at 5:28 PM, john whelan <[email protected]> wrote: > > MSF have been doing some very interesting projects recently, for example > one is http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1669 is just roads so if you fancy > trying your hand at validation and have a copy of JOSM around try your hand. > > Cheerio John > > > _______________________________________________ > HOT mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot > >
