Hello,

I'm a beginner mapper. I was at the meeting in Brussels a couple of weeks ago.
I'm a foreigner who lives in Brussels, so I want to help mapping here.


welcome!

I have a couple of questions, if I may ask?

No would be kind of a rude answer.

1) In the wiki, for the Project_Belgium I see several external links to tools. Is there any problem to add the ones Marc Gemis showed in his presentation?
I just need an account there, or is there a bit more?

Please go ahead, the wiki needs a lot of work.

2) What are the recommanded plugins for JOSM to map in Belgium? I can update the wiki with this info too.


No typical Belgian plugins yet, but I would recommend :

the terracer plugin, building tools. Openstreetbug (which kind of nicely shows that bug in the way you mention once I click it) , notes, mapdust, fixaddresses, turnrestrictions

Also: work with mapCSS (check preferences of josm for custom style downloads).

3) I wanted to add my favorite comic books shop, I see only shop:books which would make it. As comics are famous in Belgium, is there something else?

I have no idea really...  now I want a special tag :)

4) In OSM inspector I see that way_id : 233946835 is reported as error because it has no tags. I see that it is the inside of a school. I thought of creating a multipolygon with the external border and this way as the internal border, is this the right way?

The reason is exactly that, it's a way without a tag, e.g. you're not telling what it is. By the looks of this, it's mean as an area. So the very least it should have a area=yes tag on it to valdate. But what is it really ? What is this suppose to represent and why does it have to be a mulipolygon ?

It is a big group of questions, I hope this is the right way to interact with the mailing list.


Perfect place to do so
