Hi Andrew, The Before OSM layer comes from FOSM, a fork of OSM in end of 2012. See http://www.fosm.org/ I only need to provde a Client HTTP page that access external FOSM and OSM/HOT layers. With this light solution, I have no database to maintain. This is also a practical way to compare rapid

These tools are really cool! What is the date for the before tiles, and is there a way to specify them? Andrew On Tue, Jan 5, 2016 at 11:48 AM, Pierre Béland wrote: > Hi Pete, > > The Before tile is back in the OSMCompare page. See compare for Gueckedou > http://pierzen.dev.openstreetmap.org/ho

The post was basically some ideas and there are quite a few in there even for me. There are others such as modifying the task manager so that once a tile has been marked done only josm can be used to validate. Validation is difficult basically look through the projects and you'll see very few til

John, I agree that HOT is evolving. I've been doing a lot of work personally to clean up the Tasking Manager. Most of the discussion has been happening on the Tasking Manager and Activation lists so it hasn't made its way to the main HOT list. I reached out to the appropriate TM user and after che

Hi, I became more seriously involved with HOT a good month ago, as somebody was organising a mapathon and needed some extra help. Since I already have some experience with OSM and since I saw an obvious need for it, I decided validation might be a good match for me. I agree that it's a bit of a

Hi Pete, The Before tile is back in the OSMCompare page. See compare for Gueckedou http://pierzen.dev.openstreetmap.org/hot/leaflet/OSM-Compare-before-after.html#14/8.5637/-10.1331 I just corrected the tile link with the new tile url specified in map.fosm.org, the OSM fork project that let us co

Nice email John, I totally agree with this idea. What I hear from new mappers is that they find it difficult to pick a task themselves. Something I found difficult myself in the beginning was the fact that tasks for experienced mappers are also shown in the first screen, e.g. imagery adjustments, r

John, You are right on target here. I started mapping during the Nepal earthquake and was learning as I went. I got a few gentle tactical tips from you… such as when I was mapping every tiny square I saw and you made me feel at ease when you humorously pointed out I was being very thorough by t

HOT is evolving, we started off with mainly experienced OSM mappers mapping in response to short term emergencies. Now do do a wider range of tasks with a wider range of mappers. We're seeing organisations such as MSF and the Red Cross guiding people who want to help them to mapping with HOT, so

Hi all, happy new year! I have used Pierre's website for showing impact of Missing Maps activities extensively in the past: http://pierzen.dev.openstreetmap.org/hot/leaflet/OSM-Compare-before-after.html#10/27.9083/85.5286 But, for a while now, it has not been working. Does anyone know of an alter
