Giacomo Servadei was accepted for continuing development on the JOSM PT_Assistant plugin. Darya Golovko started to work on this plugin last year and she succeeded in making the mapping and correcting of public transport route relations a lot more convenient and efficient. She will be co-mentoring the project this year. Michael Zangl will help by doing review of the Java code, even though he is mentoring another JOSM related GSoC project.
I'm not entirely sure if it's wise to cross post this message (so sorry if it wasn't) * To the JOSM-dev mailing list: please welcome Giacomo. He may have some questions for you along the way. And maybe some of you want to help out by looking at the code too. * To the public_transport mailing list: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2017/PT_Assistant_Plugin The above is what I have in mind to work on this year. Maybe you see things I missed, or you want to help with beta testing. Please let me know. If the plugin has issues, don't hesitate to create tickets on JOSM's bug tracker ( http://josm.openstreetmap.de/newticket) I'm prepared to do Hangout sessions to discuss mapping of public transport in OpenStreetMap. I also want to extend the scope of the plugin, so it works for hiking and cycling route relations. The semantics are a bit different than public transport version 2 route relations, but a lot of what is in the plugin can be reused for those itineraries. Due to how GSoC works, it may take until the end of June before we start seeing results. During the month of May we are mostly doing preparation during the community bonding period. The plugin is already available to work with in JOSM though. And it is already very useful for detecting problems and fixing some of them. So please try it and give us some feedback. Polyglot
