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
