Re: [OSM-talk] Portal for users/casual mappers (Re: Tagging FOR the renderer)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 I'm roughly just outside the 1000 largest mappers and am, in my experience, at least not atypical for mappers of that rank. With exception of building outlines pre - survey and some updates I'm doing to old stuff in Zurich that's about the limit of arm chairing and mechanical edits for me. Yes there are a few mappers up there with the bots but I don't believe that they are particularly relevant. On 19.

The long tail editors on the other hand may be supplying data in unique ways requiring local knowledge. It's also likely that prolific contributors will work on mostly armchair-mappable stuff, while the long tail will just add a particular POI they care about. So once the initial basemap is done by big contributors, I expect the number of changesets (but not the amount of data) to shift toward long tail contributors. Arguably, the long tail is what crowdsourcing is all about. But to make it possible, we first need a huge amount of data, which comes from top contributors. Both contributor profiles are necessary for OSM. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
