It would greatly benefit from increasing contrast/brightness like the recently introduced josm filter does. No idea how to implement that here though. On Wed, 7 Oct 2015 20:23 Suzan Reed wrote: > Must have been a momentary glitch or that everyone was on the server! > Great project. Very useful.

John, no worries, we'll handle it. Appreciate your input. But given that the buildings are not only shifted, but often incorrect, I think it a better option to have them adjusted in real time (even with the potential issues that raises). I've updated the task instructions to indicate this. I also

So what we are saying then is the Bing imagery is fine but the many of the existing buildings do not align to the Bing imagery for one reason or another. My concerns are new mappers will find this confusing and the effort in moving each building individually by individual mappers is to put it mild

I think the issue is how can we make this easy for new mappers. You can select multiple buildings in JOSM by downloading the area then select buildings, then select an author within the selection then move all the buildings by that author at once. It's not complicated just a pain to do if some of

John, In reviewing the existing building data, you are correct it is shifted. However, the data does not seem to be very accurate. In this situation, I'm wondering it makes more sense to double-check, correct, and update that existing data, rather than try to bulk shift it (which I've never done)

It seems the project is down or broken. There’s no imagery, and the email address link doesn’t work. If someone is able to access this, please let the list know as it would be interesting to check it out. Cheers! Suzan On Oct 7, 2015, at 3:33 AM, Pete Masters wrote: Hi all, Benni from Di
