I am confused. In your first reaction you seem to indicate that my survey article is too technical for the website and that it should go in a diary. I was hoping that such type of articles could be posted on osm.be as well. That is why I made the suggestion of a separate section with more technical articles. Now you suggest it is ok to put them inder blogs?
As for the what to map idea. While a summary belongs under projects, a full article should mention how you find the items during a survey, how to map them or where you can see them on a map. Do you think that part does not belong in a blog post on osm.be, but in a diary? m Op 24 apr. 2017 15:03 schreef "Ben Abelshausen" <[email protected]>: > Hi Marc, > > Feel free to add your website-wishlist items here, some of us work on this > when we have time: > > https://github.com/osmbe/website/issues > > Let's think specifically about the technical articles idea, but it's > difficult enough keeping the website up-to-date as it is.
