In case you missed it (it was in the WeeklyOSM), you can now create an RSS feed (or visualize) with changesets by editor using one of Simon Poole's tools:

(probably as the tool is built with people watching their very local area) There might be a way around using the RSS. I used to collect similar RSS feeds to a Google Spreadsheat using IFTTT, which is really quite straightforward. 2016-04-20 19:46 GMT+02:00 Janet Chapman <j.chap...@tanzdevtrust.org>: > Thank you so much Blake, Maps.Me is brilliant, just trying to work out the > best way to ensure we get as accurate data as possible as most people in > rural Tanzania are mapping onto pretty blank canvases... > > Janet > > Subject: Re: [HOT] Maps.Me in Tanzania > > To: joost.schou...@gmail.com; j.chap...@tanzdevtrust.org > > CC: julianha...@gmail.com; hot@openstreetmap.org; > emramanauska...@googlemail.com > > From: bgirar...@gmail.com > > Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2016 15:02:26 +0200 > > > > > > > Hi Janet, > > > > I also forwarded your email to Illya, one of the maps.me developers. > > > > But Joost's email just reminded me that we are in the process of > > creating a maps.me export for our HOT Export Tool that would allow you > > to get an up to the minute set of data for maps.me anytime you want, so > > you could literally map today, and be using the data you entered later > > that evening in maps.me. > > > > I ran out of time, but I also spoke a little bit to Illya about how we > > might help add to the their existing data editing model to better > > support humanitarian mapping. > > > > maps.me as a company is a great supporter of humanitarian mapping and > > they often contact HOT to discuss ways they can support our work in > > their tools (the HOT export tool support being one very concrete > > example, open sourcing their product is another) so I am sure we can > > make progress to make the app even more useful in the contexts we > > generally work. > > > > Cheers, > > Blake > > > > On 4/20/2016 2:45 PM, joost schouppe wrote: > > > Hi Janet, > > > > > > While I know it is possible to do such things with those apps, I > > > wouldn't know how.
