[OSM-talk] Re : Permalink with marker
Good idea, but not with the default openlayer marker :) - Reply message - De : "Richard Mann" Pour : "Andrew Errington" Cc : "Talk Openstreetmap" Objet : [OSM-talk] Permalink with marker Date : jeu., mai 23, 2013 11:03 Easiest of all would probably be to include the marker by default, and let people edit it out if they don't want it.

For example, if a friend asks me where a restaurant is, or a park, I want to go to the map and quickly create a link with a marker to send to my friend. I can paste the link into email, or Facebook, or any chat program. I can do this right now, but I need to edit the long permalink (or add "?m" to the short permalink). I'd like to skip this step.

Another good thing would be if you could generate a permalink for searched areas.for example: if you search vor Berlin and click on the first entrance the border Berlin city will be shown on the map Maybe it would be possible to have a small Link symbol next to the search results. greetings Christian 2013/5/23 sabas88 2013/5/23 Andrew Errington Hello, On the main map at osm.org there is a 'permalink' hyperlink, which generates a URL encoding the current view of the map. It is easy to change this into a marker link by editing the URL and changing "lat" and "lon" to "mlat" and "mlon". Would it be beneficial to add another hyperlink which will do this automagically? Maybe called "markerlink", which produces a URL containing "mlat" and "mlon". I know it means work for someone, but if it's a good idea then hopefully it can be implemented easily. I don't know if it's been suggested before, but if such a feature were available I would use it a lot. I often make my own OSM marker links to send to people by editing the permalink URL, so I'd appreciate a one-click function to do this. Comments please. If it's a good idea I will submit it to OSM trac. I like it, but should be considered also into the url shortening part (now if you add marker via mlon and mlat and make a shorturl it transforms it in lon and lat..)

[OSM-talk] Re : RFC updated: OSM Attribution Mark (was: contributor mark)
I agree the logo is great, but not as an attribution mark. To me, the most important thing in the actual attribution is '& contributors' We should keep the text.

Would a one-off mailing to users who registered more than three months ago and have no edits and no traces, with a link to an anonymous online survey be within the bounds of Openstreetmap's policy ? Again, this is not about the users with just one edit (it seems that those are well understood) - it is about users with no edit at all. Here is a rough outline of what it could be (of course, any such project will require a wiki page and much debate...) : "Greetings from Openstreetmap - we have noticed that you created an account x months ago and have not yet edited the map... We would love to know why, so that we can provide better information to new users - would you care to answer this anonymous survey ? I created an account and have not edited the map yet because : - I thought that registering was necessary for using Openstreetmap or accessing the data - I thought that registering would grant access to advanced features - I found the tools and technical requirements too complicated" In any case, if you have any question, don't hesitate to head to http://help.openstreetmap.org - fellow cartographers will be delighted to help you overcome any hurdle you may encounter" Whatever such message ends up being designed could be sent to a few hundred users for testing before sending it to a slightly larger fraction and then to the whole population. Do you think such a survey would help ? Would that be too spammy for Openstreetmap's taste ? ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] Re : OpenSnowMap.org
But what's make the start of a run unique ? I will probably add something for the node with role:start in pistes relations, but it's less downhill related. About routing, it will certainly change server-side before next winter, so I take all comments.

Seriously though, most ski resorts (around here at least) have a "green" and "white" mode. Many of the functions of your site would also be useful for other activities at the resort. > What I try to achieve is controls with left clic only. Ok, but why? All the other sites use left click to place markers, and right click context menu to delete them. Don't reinvent GUIs if you don't have to :) > I take it that more > guidance would be appreciated. Nah, just more familiar experience. Trying to teach users how to use your novel interface is the wrong approach, IMHO - just stick with what they already know.
