Hey Severin, Sorry just saw this message now. After some discussion, Brian and I thought it would be best to remove this functionality from the new tool based on the results of the survey we conducted on the Export Tool.
It verified our assumption that there are only a handful of individuals that used the Transform and Translation functionality offered by the tool, who are generally more advanced GIS users. Therefore those users that have the skills and capability to create the required configuration files, can also do this modification outside of the Export Tool and probably do it much better, as it can be tested and viewed better in another GIS software. Of course we would like to hear more from the users that have used this functionality to weigh up its pros and cons. I've had the fortunate opportunity to speak to Amadou in person about his use of the Translation function and would like to discuss this more. We thought the best way to really find out how users of the tool would feel about its removal, was to go ahead and do it and see the reaction :) So let's talk about this while the tool is still in its testing phase to come to the best decision. Kind regards, Mhairi On Fri, Sep 4, 2015 at 6:05 PM, Severin Menard <severin.men...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Mhairi, > > Thanks for your message. > Where can we input the translation and the SQL transform files we created > for the v.1? > > Sincerely, > > Severin > > On Mon, Aug 31, 2015 at 4:50 PM, Mhairi O'Hara <mhairi.oh...@hotosm.org> > wrote: > >> Hello HOTties, >> >> The Alpha release of the new Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team OSM Export >> Tool <http://hot.geoweb.io/en/jobs/create/> takes place today.
