[talk-ph] OSM Project NOAH edits
As some of you have noticed, we are getting a lot of new edits (yay!) with a changeset comment #noah. This is part of Project NOAH's campaign to improve exposure data all over the country for DRR. AFAIK, they are running several workshops to universities, LGUs and regional agencies all over the country. As some of you have also noticed, along with more mappers, newbie errors can happen. This is always the case for new mappers (all of us went to this stage). I had a brief discussion with the NOAH team today and I proposed to have a discussion with them to look into ways to minimize editing errors. If you have seen such cases, let's document it in this thread so that we can help NOAH's training team as they continue to encourage editing in OSM. Once we have collated this common errors we can then discuss this with Project NOAH. -- cheers, maning -- Freedom is still the most radical idea of all -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ -- ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
[talk-ph] Mozilla Community Space Manila
Hi everybody, The Mozilla Philippines Community is proud to announce the launch of their Mozilla Community Space Manila. This is available for use by tech groups in the Philippines. You can read more from their press release: http://www.mozspacemnl.org/press-release-mozilla-community-space-manila/ I think this is an excellent spot for us to hold our events, trainings, workshops, and other activities. The location is along Pasong Tamo in Makati so it is quite accessible. :-) ~Eugene ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph

Re: [talk-ph] OSM Project NOAH edits
Hi all, Great that we will have more mappers... I finally found some time to analyse the changesets of the edits done in Cebu by Arkigat. Here are the errors I noticed: 1. Several buildings where traced over already existing buildings (probably just as exercise), creating duplicate buildings on top of each other. 2. Several areas where traced as buildings instead of using a correct tag like amenity/landuse... Smaller buildings or POI's where already there most of the time and the traced areas were very approximative. 3. Name tags were also copied from existing poi's or buildings, but lacked capitalisation Most of this looked like just reproducing already existing elements just to try out how it works. Is there a sandbox for iD for these kind of edits ? (I couldn't find the info in the wiki [1] ) I also was unable to contact Arkigat. If a test account is made for a workshop, somebody should really monitor it... Because of all the above, the only thing I could do (after having reviewed the edits one by one), was to revert them (except one that seemed useful) I really hope the next attempt will be more productive...

Re: [talk-ph] OSM Project NOAH edits
Hi again, It looks like it is possible to directly edit with iD from the dev website: http://master.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org/ You need to create a new account, and there is (nearly) no data. Unfortunately the edited elements do not seem to be rendered (only the normal osm map is displayed instead). You can see what you added by enabling the Map Data layer.
