 Hi All,

 Many thanks for exploring my blog post further as I'd really like to move

 @Stephen, can we look into possible integration between OpenDroneMap and
 MicroMappers to make this happen?

 Thanks again,

Re: [HOT] Training volunteers in Albania

2015-04-11 Thread Redon Skikuli
Hi there, a correction. Our correct website is www.openlabs.cc.
As Open Labs I have to admit that there is so much more to do in OSM from
the local community.
At the moment we are focused in organizing OSCAL Conference (
http://oscal.openlabs.cc/), but I will raise this as an issue in the next
community meeting.
We have Besfort Guri from Kosova talking about similar issues in the
conference, and I'll personally organise an open discussion about OSM as
well.

Thanks for pointing this out.

 About a month ago I stumbled over some beginners mapping in Tirana

 Though the edits were not too useful they were tagged with

 so I thought to do nothing for the time being since the connected task
 http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/926 said

 But after a month the data isn't changed/corrected and my message¹ to
 the creator of the task sent on 24th of March still is not answered.

 A mentioning of the issue on IRC on March 28th also don't give results.

 My view of the issue is:
 Which worth has a training when the trainees don't get feedback?
 The creator of the task (which I assume the trainer) hasn't made a
 single edit in Albania.
 The data created during the task wasn't enhanced after creating it.

 Now I'd like to hand over the issue to people with more experience
 in HOT.

 Thomas

 ¹ The message I sent:

 Mirëdita [Albanian good day] $User

 you created HOT task 926¹ for training volunteers in Albania.

 I welcome people mapping a country I really like and of course HOT is
 an invaluable program. But when you are /training/ people you should
 also teach them how to do stuff and give feedback to what they mapped.
 Else they may produce just a lot of unhelpful data.

 I didn't investigate on purpose but so far I stumbled over following
 issues:

 duplicate houses (mapped by the same mapper
 https://www.osm.org/#map=21/41.3330021/19.7839432
 houses with offset to its basements
 https://www.osm.org/#map=20/41.333141/19.782218
 houses drawn over highways
 https://www.osm.org/#map=20/41.333141/19.782218
 ways of outlines only tagged with area=yes e.g.:
 https://www.osm.org/#map=19/41.334339/19.788208
 In Tirana I found 103 ways which were tagged this way and
 belong to HOT task 926.

 I also found a highway=road dragged over a correct highway which I just
 corrected in the hope that the other stuff would be vanish due to a
 training supervisor - which didn't happen.

 Please tell your trainees that, when they map the outline of a roof,
 they should afterwards drag it to the ground floor of the building. The
 higher the building the worse the offset due to the sloped angle of the
 aerial photograph. Please also tell them about the function make
 rectangular which every editor has. (When using JOSM, don't forget to
 mention the plugin buildings_tools (which enables drawing and tagging
 a house with two clicks) and the extrude tool).

 For mappers in Taiwan, currently the Bing imagery is the only way to draw
 details in Taiwan, since only Bing has good zoom 18+ coverage in Taiwan.

 However since the imagery updated this week the coverage dramatically
 dropped. Though some region had been updated,  a lot of areas, like Taipei,
 Miaoli, and Kaohsiung, all zoom 14+ images were disappeared. It is
 frustrating.

 This issue had been lasted for several days, and we had reported the
 imagery lost in the Bing maps report form. Is there any other ways we can
 report and get this fixed?
