Let's be fair.  Tagging name=[PAVED,UNPAVED] is suboptimal, yes.

On the other hand, these edits are a couple of years old, from a
mapper who had been mapping for about a month at the time.  And who
mapped from their own survey and gps trackfiles.  This mapper was
doing just about everything right, with their heart clearly in the
right place.


No - his ways are parallel to the actual paved and unpaved roads. They 
were added solely to make the words render. (The road is from the 2007 
TIGER import.) I'm not judging him; I just find it amusing.

[OSM-talk] Happy SysAdmin Day

2011-07-29 Thread Richard Weait
Happy SysAdmin Day to all of the System Administrators on the list.

And especially to our very own admins for OpenStreetMap.  To all of
you who keep our servers running, and lug them through the
underground, to the folks who maintain the services that we rely upon
and enjoy, to the cartographers who maintain our stylesheets and
rendering.  Thank you.

Re: [OSM-talk] Commenting and thumbs up/down feature for changesets

depending on how the mapper structures his work it might also often be
desirable to have more granularity then just a whole changeset (i.e.
flag single actions or groups of actions contained in a changeset). In
your given example this would not be needed, but I happen to see also
very big changesets with hundreds of single actions in them.

The simplest solution might be to appeal to the mappers to structure
their uploads in a way that they contain only actions for one
"task"/one kind of edit and they all adhere ;-)

Martin
