Re: [OSM-dev] Using native social SDK for signing in to OSM on mobile

If I understand Ilya correctly what he wants to avoid is (the hassle of) the authorisation step when using OAuth. During this process you need to login to openstreetmap.org with your credentials and then confirm that the app is allowed to access the API on your behalf. To see what is involved in

Re: [OSM-dev] Using native social SDK for signing in to OSM on mobile

First, Facebook SDK is open-source. So there are no proprietary solutions related to this discussion. Google login SDK is probably open too, though I didn't check that. The discussion with Martijn is about a different things: while he proposes to change the whole registration process

Re: [OSM-dev] Using native social SDK for signing in to OSM on mobile

Hi Greg, Signing in on mobile devices is hard. You click "sign in" and then have to remember your login and password. There is an alternative method: facebook and google buttons on a login form. You can try them yourself: after linking your account with a social account, signing in is just a

Re: [OSM-dev] Using native social SDK for signing in to OSM on mobile

Sometimes a map could be useless without a photo itself. For example, if one looks at the map of the hamlet Salin [1] in Alps, it is possible to get an idea to drive there by the Route des Ormonts. On the map and even on the satellite image it looks like this road passes just about half a

Re: [OSM-dev] Using native social SDK for signing in to OSM on mobile

My answer is, absolutely. If a random person walking with their phone adds opening hours or marks a shop closed, I don't care if she/he is a part of community or not. Having them logged in with an OSM account makes them contactable, and that's all we need. I think it's time to stop taking OSM

Re: [OSM-dev] Using native social SDK for signing in to OSM on mobile

Hi, I have a rather non-technical remark about this recurring "we need to make sign-up easier" topic. My question is: Do we want to encourage casual editing? And my answer is "not 100% sure but perhaps rather not". There are some benefits to casual editing; if people could just fire off a

[OSM-dev] Using native social SDK for signing in to OSM on mobile

Hi everyone, Suppose I'm working on a mobile editor for iOS and Android. You can't edit anything without signing in, so first a user has to enter their login and password. If they are not registered in OSM, too bad: the registration workflow is overly complex for mobile. One has to enter
