[HOT] building=house
Looking at several bits of mapping in Africa it seems to be normal to use a rectangle tagged building=house. Would a simple POI tagged building=house be acceptable? Most rendering systems will drop an icon on a tagged POI, they take up a little less room in the database and its faster to drop a POI in the center of a house than draw a square. Is there a special reason for using rectangles in this way rather than POIs? Thanks John ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot

Re: [HOT] Tasking Manager updated
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Regarding the button move I can't say one way or another. However, the loading of the file manually is a step back and it was done intentionally. The new JOSM does not honor the josm/ignore=true tag anymore and the bounding boxes were inadvertantly being uploaded to the server. We decided to make the downloading manual as a workaround to this issue. We are working with the josm devs to find a better solution, the current setup is a temporary workaround until a more permanent solution is found. - -AndrewBuck On 10/19/2014 11:06 AM, Erik Walthinsen wrote: On 10/17/2014 07:07 AM, Pierre GIRAUD wrote: Among the bug fixes or little improvements, this release's main goal is to prevent JOSM users to send the task boundary to OSM database even if ignore is set which may happen with recent versions of JOSM.

[HOT] Guidance for Organizing HOT Mapathon
Hi all, I've been mapping for much of the year with HOT and a few years with OSM. I'm looking to start up some local mapathons in the Madison, WI area to hopefully share my expertise and spark some interest in the area, and would appreciate some guidance in organizing one as I haven't before. There isn't a local OSM-US chapter in the near vicinity so I will be going at it as an individual. If there's anyone with some experience in putting one together, could you ping me offline (off the mailing list)? Thanks!Ethan (mapper FTA) ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot

I would much rather see it be a button again, perhaps colored yellow to distinguish it from the green Done. I agree with that. Only if you know from previous mapping that there is the option to unlock a task even when it's not finished, will you be looking for that small link above. A second button would be preferable. I can't think of a wording but something that more clearly says The task is not finished yet, but I stop working on it. greetings antje ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
