Re: [OSM-talk] iD influencing tagging

This is good we have a quality control mechanism even if it is a blunt instrument, and we think the risk is low on the TRA side. Thank you for your input. Cheerio John On Sun, 7 Apr 2019 at 19:07, Andy Townsend wrote: > On 07/04/2019 23:37, john whelan wrote: > > > Developing an editor require

JOSM has also done the same, and gone farther with creating new tags on its issue tracker.Developing an editor requires making decisions and having opinions on OSM tagging. This in turn means getting it wrong sometimes.On Apr 7, 2019 5:43 AM, John Whelan wrote: I note that the matter has been rai

Re: [OSM-talk] iD influencing tagging

and I think this is precisely my concern. Tagging is not always easy, highways in Africa are an example. See a dirt track in Europe and its probably a highway=track. In Africa it probably isn't. Cheerio John On Sun, 7 Apr 2019 at 11:51, Martin Koppenhoefer wrote: > > > sent from a phone > >

>John - did you look at Github issue 2776 [1] that discussed Semi-Detached? I've never tagged a semi-detached house, but iD offers it as a preset. I don't normally use iD but you must explain to me where iD offers it as a preset since I was unable to spot it. Stats Canada's project to map buildin

Re: [OSM-talk] iD influencing tagging

The wiki page for landuse=reservoir says: "Description: Ambiguous and better alternatives exist, see water=reservoir" So, is iD wrong to use this, or is the wiki incorrect? On Sun, Apr 7, 2019 at 8:24 AM Tomas Straupis wrote: > 2019-04-07, sk, 17:47 Bryce Jasmer rašė: > > Can you give some exa

Re: [OSM-talk] iD influencing tagging

Can you give some examples of what the OSM normals are and how iD differs from them? Is there a bug against iD not showing semi-detached house? Can you provide the link(s) to the bug(s) so we can read what the discussion/rationale is for not showing it? As for a building tool, is there any eviden

[OSM-talk] iD influencing tagging

I note that the matter has been raised in talk-de and mentioned in osm weekly. Tagging is not always easy, but I do have concerns when iD is so commonly used but the recommended tags do not align with OpenStreetMap I'll say normals. Specifically one of my concerns is a semi-detached house is
