Hi all, I understand your concerns, John. However, many mappers might not follow talk-ca. So, I guess, Daniel's suggestion to contact them, might work better than waiting for them to incidentally check talk-ca. * More to finding local mappers * By providing the overpass query I just wanted

Hi John, Tim, and the others :-) John, I understand your concern and if it was not addressed properly, this could block the import again. IMHO, we just need to make sure that we have done everything reasonable to inform the concerned contributors, in order to discuss the import in case they do

Hi all, *a) data hosting* I can offer to host pre-processed data for the building imports as well. *b) task manager work units* I find smaller tasks about 20 minutes each more appealing than 1 hour tasks *c) checking already existing data* An added tag would certainly help as you can apply a

One concern I have at present is the lack of comments from what I would call more average mappers in smaller population areas. The conversation seems to be limited to two or three players. I'm not sure if this is because we lost momentum earlier or people now feel they have to have made more

Just to let you know there is a maximum of geometry the tasking manager can handle, I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I have encountered it before. So try not to go too ham with the geometric shapes On Wed., Jan. 15, 2020, 12:56 p.m. Daniel @jfd553, wrote: > Thanks for the quick replies! > >

Thanks for the quick replies! Now, about... a) Data hosting: Thank you James, I really appreciate your offer (and that of others). So yes, I think hosting pre-processed data in the task manager, for approved regions, is an attractive offer. When we agree on a municipality for pre-processing, I

Howdy all, a) I would also be happy to host data - I plan to preprocess/host data for Toronto/GTA at the least. b) I'd suggest sticking to no more than ~200 buildings or ~1,500 nodes for an import task. If that seems too small, you can always follow it up with another task right after,

I think we should have a list of ways to find local mappers. Ideally we start with Pascal Neis’ tool but then allow ourselves to reduce the bar to consider others perhaps with 9 changesets or less after two weeks after approaching the ideal mapper /mappers first. Do we have a target

Bonjour Groupe, Concerning the proposal (ODB import), there are questions that remain before moving forward; here are some of them... a) Who on this list host the ODB data? If pre-processing is required, how should we proceed to have the results made available (assuming I ran the
