Hi Pierre
I can communicate, but not sure yet of doing everything things
properly. I have edited some wiki pages, but not sure how to identify
myself. The member guggis told me to add four ~~~~~ and test with the
sandbox page. I edited the sandbox page and since then only my name
appears on that page. These type of things don't give you to much
confidence that you can communicate in the wiki without erasing
everything.
... this reminds member guggis (aka myself) to be more precise when
giving advice ;-) Don't worry, a sandbox is a sandbox. And it only
requires three mouse clicks to undo whatever one does on the wiki. Test
it out yourself:
* go to the sandbox http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sandbox
* click on the tab "history"
* click on "undo" for one of your entries
* click on "Save"
Also, from one wiki page project to the other, ways of communicating
are different. When we work on a project (by exemple rivers), should
we indicate it in the wiki page of the project or instead send a mail
to the talk-ht?
Unfortunatelly, yes. But hopefully we're going to change that in the
future, see what Mikel wrote here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Team/Haiti_Strategy_And_Proposal#Social_Processes
Regarding rivers: if you're refering to
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Tasks_and_Ideas/RiverLabeling
then try again to edit the section "Who is involved?" and add your
signature (~~~~). Sending a mail to talk-ht is fine too.
On the page WikiProject Haiti/Tasks and Ideas/RiverLabeling, it is
often said /*need link to the OSM object*/. What this means? And from
the successive ways composing a river, those a hierarchy object have
to be created. If so, How?
Every node or way in OSM has a unique number. way 30048192, for
instance, is road in Port-Au-Prince. For every object there is a link
where you can browse the object, i.e.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/30048192. If someone is looking
for the link to an OSM object he is looking for this link.
Regards
Karl
