[HOT] Volunteer opportunity: Print layout / editing

[Tyler Radford]

HOT is co-leading the publication of a new quick-start guide on open
mapping for the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data (to be
released as part of the Data4SDGs Toolbox http://www.data4sdgs.org/toolbox
at the UN General Assembly next week).

We are looking for a volunteer print layout designer (copy editors also
welcome) who can apply a creative touch to the guide and is available Thurs
the 15th through Mon the 19th to help finalize it. Please contact me
directly if interested!

Re: [HOT] User removing highway tags from the Earthquake area (Uganda and Tanzania)

[Michael Heißmeier]

Hi all,

unless someone stops me within the next minutes I would assign "highway=road" to 
untagged ways now. Fixing the tagging will certainly take a while and I have 
other obligations today as well so others are invited to jump in then.


Best Regards
Michael

Hi Marco, Hi Michael,

Marco, thank you very much for catching this and posting to the list Marco!

Michael, I would go for option 2

I have also sent an email to the mapper who made the mistake. Mistakes
happen, it is just the nature of things.

If someone wants to fix them up via option 2 above, please let us
know. It will take me at least an hour before I can dig in and fix it
myself, but I will let the list know when I do if no one has started
before then.

Thank you again!

Regards,
Blake

Hi,

I would assume that this is some kind of weird error. Looking at the user's
history this obviously only happened in three changesets, 42110663, 42112337
and 42112459. His latest one and the immediate previous ones do not show
this kind of modification.

Considering that this is an area with an activation going I am not sure
whether a standard revert of the changesets will be a good idea - I assume
that many of these objects have been touched in the meantime.

I see two options:

1. Revert the changesets and thus lose all other edits by the user from
these changesets too. I tried locally with changeset 42112459 which would
result in 16 conflicts to be solved. The main problem would be with nodes
modified in these changesets and subsequently by other users.

2. Only detect ways without tags which is easy with JOSM's validator and
assign "highway=road" to them to mark them for further inspection. This
would require going over the whole area afterwards and re-assign proper
highway tags.

I am not sure which one sounds easier. Option 2 is quicker for the immediate
fix but means a lot of work afterwards.

Best Regards
Michael

I just came thru this area [1] that I tried to map in the last few days
and found out that someone has been removing the highway=* tag from a
large number of ways. I wrote him a private message asking for the
reason of his edits, but I'd like to share this problem with someone
with more HOT experience in order to understand what's going on and how
can we quickly fix this, as road mapping seems to me seriously important
for the guys on the ground who use OSM to help the locals
