Henri & all, especially any 'new mappers'
We need two things which sometimes are in conflict with each other.
1. We're all part of a team, and we need to help each other without
causing offence. We all make mistakes, and it's nice to have someone
help us when we do - so validators, please consider putting links to
help pages when you are 'validating' - I've listed LearnOSM because I
know where they are, but there are other excellent resources such as
MapGive, tracing guides, quick start guides. LearnOSM has largely been
translated into numerous languages so you may consider sending the link
in a different language - select the feature in your editor, then press
'Ctrl+h' to see the history of the editing, which will tell you who did
it, rather than who updated Task Manager which is often different.
Always make sure the guide you are referring to has the same
instructions as the particular task/project, because they do vary.

Residential boundary

Buildings, including round huts

2. The quality control for the particular project / task.
In you're particular case, I would finish my square & then log into that
adjacent square & correct the mistakes - but only if I am certain I am
correct, because otherwise it's very embarrassing!
& Henri - you're starting to think like a validator - please see
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Tasking_Manager/Validating_data
which was based upon work by Severin. If you are not ready to validate
yet, then you've made a good start because you've started to realise
what's needed.
I'm pleased to say I'm still learning - I spend part of my time learning
& part helping with the mapping. Its a big subject & I just hope we
don't lose everyone once this drops out of the news headlines. The Aid
Organisations (NGO's) are dealing with IDP's (Internally Displaced
Persons) all of the time and have a full time staff to do so - the need
for adequate mapping will not stop with Nepal.
Thanks & I hope to see more of your work in the future.
Regards

Thanks Nick!
In my case the features didn’t go only a little into the other tile,
they went a lot (e.g. they were not ‘handed over’). The edge area
instructions could be shortly mentioned with the task instructions
(sort of Do’s and Dont’s ) so this kind of mistakes could be avoided.
What would be the proper way to correct them? Should I do it as I spot
the mistake or should I leave it to the person editing the other tile
(note: I have no idea whether the other guy has noticed the mistake).
I also find it problematic that I can’t see the features that exist
outside of my square, is there a way to see them? (I’m using JOSM)

Hello,
I am a beginner with HOT OSM. So far I’ve mostly digitized
buildings regarding the Gorkha task (#1009). I’ve read the
beginners tutorials but I haven’t seen what is the proper way to
handle edge areas (maybe I’ve missed it).
E.g.,
1) if I find a road/path/track how that goes beyond my tile, how
far should I digitize it? Only to the border of my task tile or as
far as it goes?
2) if I find mistakes from the edge area that are within another
tile or that goes beyond my own tile, what should I do?
and in general 3) how are roads/tracks connected between the tiles?
For example this morning I edited a tile which had a lot of
features that were poor in quality. A lot of this data was in
another tiles area (landuse = residential). I get it that editing
another tiles area might create problems, but in the other hand
leaving poor quality data isn’t any good either.

Best regards,
Henri
