OR PoGo is using the fact that a bunch of people walk that way playing Pokemon Go than other places. -- --my blog is athttp://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] Beware Pokemon users
To have a gamified way to contribute to OSM was my original idea for StreetComplete[1]. There should be leaderboards, badges/achievements and different stats, also different quest givers/categories each with own pictures (like i.e. on WikiMapia), a possibility to form teams and compete with each other for "dominance" (=contributing most) in cities. So the game itself would (still) be to directly contribute to OSM itself but I think this is a good enough basis for a gamey app. For StreetComplete, it currently develops more into the direction of a surveyor app, but only because I want to get the basics working first, so everything is no-frills.

Re: [OSM-talk] Beware Pokemon users
Hi, well, perhaps there are single cases where valid data has been reverted. But in general new mappers are a good thing and that's why there's a blog post on the official blog that imho is written in a very inclusive tone. Perhaps you want to share it in the discussion with the Pokemon Go players: https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2016/12/30/tips-pokemon-go/ Peda ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
