Hey gang,
We're having our own little Isle of Wight on Santa Catalina Island later this
month.
Right now we have 32 folks saying they'll attend a weekend mapping/Mapillary
adventure to the island which is about an hour's ferry ride from Los Angeles. I
expect closer to 20 will actually go.
Any one have suggestions beyond what's planned?
Most buildings have already been imported through the L.A. County Building
Import. And I recently imported the 1,100 addresses so that we could verify
them on the ground.
What's currently planned:
- Address cleanup/businesses: About 1,100 addresses need to be verified.
Several more need to be added. All those imported in Avalon got a
maptimela:reviewed=no tag for verification. Will need to make sure teams work
on separate streets. (maybe this should be split in two?) Move address points
to main entrance of structure (or entrance associated with address).
- Botanic garden: Add plants and trails using mobile apps or paper maps
- Mapillary: Will need to divide up city to add to Mapillary. Will have five
360 cameras.
- Fire hydrant check: could be imported and verified during the trip.
- Benches, waste bins, ATMs, pay phones, bike parking, drinking fountains,
decorative water fountains: is this too menial?
- Trees: again, too menial? Could get into species and type depending on
group's knowledge. Might be handy for the city government.
- Historical monuments: hoping for a list of important places from the island's
museum.
- Tourist attractions: could be culled from the list on OSM wiki...but may
interfere with the business or historical group
- Verify/coding/central command: could be stationed at the campground to watch
edits and provide a second set of eyes for verification

We also have a draft of a sticker. Any thoughts?

Suggestions and ideas are welcome.
