One of the things pyroute could do was sketch onto a map, e.g. to draw some changes that need to be made, without knowing anything about nodes or tags it's kind of similar to a paper map, where anyone could draw corrections on it without having to "learn" anything. Maybe something like that would be useful for gathering corrections from casual users? [pyroute can't upload the images to a server yet, but it's trivial code to add. It can already export sketches as GPX files that you can view* in JOSM] Perhaps a web-based idea could be used (based on potlatch code, with crayons instead of tags?), which allows sketching "notes to OSM". Save them onto a map image layer, and list the sketching sessions as "recent changes" (like tracklog thumbnails in OSM) Regards, OJW * although that exposes a "feature" of JOSM where it draws a line between the end of each tracklog and the beginning of the next... _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
