 that I can choose only to see edits of certain size when looking at

 The size of the bbox is already part of the Atom feeds via the GeoRSS
 extension. It'll look like this:

georss:box48.003869 7.8216504 48.0079714 7.8301403/georss:box


 From that you can calculate the big on your own client (e.g. Yahoo  
pipes):

[OSM-dev] Changeset history - hide 'big' edits?

2009-09-27 Thread Valent Turkovic
Hi,
there have been some talk about hiding big edits in changeset history, 
is there a plan to implement this feature soon?

Thank you very much for your excellent work.

Cheers from Croatia,
Valent.

I don't think it is a good idea. If you do so, we will not see anymore
some potential issues like bots (see another thread) or vandalism.

At some point, when there is time, it may be implemented as a toggle,  
i.e. you can hide the big routes as an option.

People have suggested it but I'm not really sure about it - the problem 
is that it isn't really big changesets you want to hide, it is 
changesets which don't really change the area you're looking at.

The trouble is it is hard/expensive to work out whether a changeset 
changes a given area or not.

The area size is irrelevant and should be completely ignored.

What I would like to know if anybody edited any node or way in area I'm 
watching, no matter how big the edited area is.

Currently I see edits in my city area [1] even if somebody adds a weather 
station in Antartica and his area is whole world. 
This is implemented completely wrong. I shouldn't see anything that is 
not edited in area I'm watching, no matter what is the size of area of 
other persons that edit.

And other issue is that RSS feed [2] has no Area (big) string. If it 
had I could as a temporary hack use Yahoo pipes to exclude big areas, 
but there are also some valid big areas that actually have edited points 
in area that I'm watching so that is not the real solution.

Yes. This would be a good service for an *external* service to offer. It 
is a bit expensive to compute, and the bounding box offered by the API 
is just meant to be a quick index that gives you an idea of which 
changesets could be relevant to the bbox you are looking at.

Anyone who is interested could analyse the change feeds coming from the 
API and tell you exactly which changesets affect any area of interest, 
and could also handle e-mail notifications etc. - this is not something 
that needs to, or indeed should, be in the central database.

Bye
Frederik

Why only for external service? I believe that this is crucial for 
monitoring because of vandalism and for watching newbies that usually 
make lots of mistakes.

Is it possible at least add area (big) in RSS feeds of changesets so it 
is filterable via external services (yahoo pipes)?

do you know ito? It is a proprietary service but subscribing is free
and it offers this feature you are requesting (see all changes in a
certain area).

I would like to see on OSM.org changeset page info how big bounding box 
is, and not only Area (big) if it is bigger that some arbitrary size.

Could there be some rough categories, like; under 100km2, under 500km2, 
under 1000km2, under 5000km2, under 1km2, etc...

And that this value is also visible in RSS freed so I can filter it via 
yahoo pipes.

That this suggestion makes sense or am I talking rubbish?
