 Hi Robert/All,
 
 I wanted to mention we'll be using iD as well for the mapping begin this
 week in Haiphong. It is currently the only OSM editor with decent
 Vietnamese support. I'm a bit concerned about conflicts during our
 training, but intend to use the Tasking Manager to try to avoid that.

Because iD discards all of its data on save and reloads new data from the 
API if you have your users save frequently it will also get them refreshing
their local data frequently, significantly cutting down on conflicts.

If you're in a limited bandwidth situation I wouldn't worry about the
increased
bandwidth usage because the map data comes compressed and even when loading 
a dense urban area only about 25% of the bandwidth is used for map data, the
remainder mainly being used by aerial imagery.

[HOT] Request to add Central African Republic among the available countries in OSMAND

 I had a little foray into QGIS just now to see if I could do
 this. Starting from naturalearth boundaries data
 http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/10m-cultural-vectors/
 I used QGIS to do a buffer and simplify, saving back to shapefile. That
 then opens into JOSM quite nicely using the OpenData plugin.
 Saved to .osm it looks like this:

 http://harrywood.dev.openstreetmap.org/africaboundaries/africaboundariesbuffered.osm.zip
 (buffers looking good)
 I tried saving it to .poly using the 'poly' plugin

 http://harrywood.dev.openstreetmap.org/africaboundaries/africaboundariesbuffered.poly
 ...but that's all the polygons munged together. What's needed is separate
 files named by country

The Dissolve function (Vector Geoprocessing tools) can be used in QGIS for
this purpose I think



 So almost there, but do we need to manually go through the country
 ways/relations one by one splitting them to layers in JOSM then saving them
 separate poly files? Probably wouldn't take that long actually, but a bit
 tedious

Re: [HOT] The status of iD in HOT contexts/projects

2013-09-30 Thread Banick, Robert
So conflicts *are* a problem but not a show stopper so far. The main
bummer is that if you have a conflict then all your edits are toast,
period. Reload and start over.

We have people saving after every single edit of any consequence. Problems
occur when people don't follow that advice.

We have had a few mysterious error messages pop up that I can't trace.
I'll try to document tomorrow for clarity's sake.

Re: [HOT] The status of iD in HOT contexts/projects

2013-09-30 Thread Pierre Béland

At the university of Limonade in Haiti, all the university campus 
used 3G keys to access internet and had to share a more or less 10 gig 
connection (at bes) provided by the tower close to the university. At 
some points in the day the bandwith was significatively reduced.  
Students were trying to save JOSM edits after every building they 
traced. And then, for less then 100k edit, it tooks minutes for the 
action to be completed.

Since Will tried later ID in the same 
context, it would be interesting to see how ID reacted with low 
bandwith.  Will, did you also experiment such internet connection 
problems and then how it was with ID as compared to JOSM?

0% brightness still loads tiles -- the issue for that is

 This might be a dumb suggestion, but what if you turn the imagery to 0%
 brightness. Does that help w/ bandwidth?

 Indeed. I should note that the imagery is helpful but also consumes a fair
 amount of bandwidth. A lovely future mod would be a no imagery option.

  Hi Robert/All,
 
  I wanted to mention we'll be using iD as well for the mapping begin
 this
  week in Haiphong. It is currently the only OSM editor with decent
  Vietnamese support. I'm a bit concerned about conflicts during our
  training, but intend to use the Tasking Manager to try to avoid that.
 
 Because iD discards all of its data on save and reloads new data from the
 API if you have your users save frequently it will also get them
 refreshing
 their local data frequently, significantly cutting down on conflicts.
 
 If you're in a limited bandwidth situation I wouldn't worry about the
 increased
 bandwidth usage because the map data comes compressed and even when
 loading
 a dense urban area only about 25% of the bandwidth is used for map data,
 the
 remainder mainly being used by aerial imagery.
