To know who is working on what, may I suggest using this shared spreadsheet, where I entered items for each chunk file, where everybody working on this is welcome to register, so that others know what is being worked on : http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0An_LB2U4zHBzdFRNR3dGczQycnZUcTJ6S2JjZ1o2dGc&hl=en ? (in the "Who" sheet.) Also, I have a question on the chunk files, as, at first sight, the split does not seem to be by close location (but maybe by order in the master file ?) : are possible duplicate entries in the same chunk ? I think this would be an important asset for collating. That a person working on an area easily see all the related items. (see for examples of duplication : http://sites.google.com/a/netspective.org/haiti-health-facilities/home/master-spreadsheet-discussion/view-submitted-corrections-issues) Or maybe you have already managed to collate all the duplicate entries ? If it is not already the case, would it be possible to split the points by geo-location ? (In case it could be useful, Mike has offered tools, see: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ht/2010-February/000080.html) Thanks, Jean-Guilhem User:jgc _______________________________________________ Talk-ht mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ht
