If you are looking at tracking transient or temporary data like location of
suspected cases, you could try something like the fieldnotes demo that I
hacked together: https://osmlab.github.io/fieldnotes/ <- Feel free to add a
point

The entire code is around 200 lines [1] and should be fairly easy to
customize with a custom form for the data you want to collect. It works by
saving data points as an overlay layer in a Mapbox dataset [2].

Re: [HOT] OSM humanitarian mapping and its learning curve

2016-10-13 Thread Arun Ganesh
The future of HOT will be in more local mappers joining tasks, and we will
definitely have to remain open to having greater number of first time OSM
contributors with no prior experience and not fluent in English.

The core of the problem is that contributors have access to powerful
editing tools that they may not know how to correctly use [1]. Lets always
create great documentation, but more importantly we need some mechanism to
ensure that a contributor has read and understood it before contributing.

For a general JOSM guide, you can use the documentation made by the data
team at Mapbox. Its been designed to be more visual than text heavy, and
includes advanced guides for validations, shortcuts and plugins:

Praveen, have you found any good sources of information on the exact

unclear what the ground situation is.

Are you in touch with anyone on the ground who is part of the relief

Re: [HOT] Protecting girls at risk of FGM in Tanzania by mapping their villages - International Womens' Day event

2016-03-07 Thread Arun Ganesh
Denis, that is amazing! Couple of things to note:


   - using the TM it becomes a JOSM specific task and requires a bit of
   experience to be able to work with multiple layers
   - instructions could be improved on how one uses the school data layer
   as a reference. What if someone decides to copy paste all the schools and
   upload?
   - How do we synced mapped schools with the spreadsheet?

The workaround I feel for this is to have the TM cover a few districts as a
project for only advanced users. New mappers should rather contribute using
the spreadsheet and iD.

[HOT] Japan data cleanup using the tasking manager

2015-10-16 Thread Arun Ganesh
Hey all!
First off, its amazing for HOT to have supported the development of the
tasking manager which is turning out to be an invaluable tool to improve
OSM.

The data team at Mapbox have been investigating the large number of data
issues in Japan [1] and we have initiated a large scale data improvement
project to realign the major highway networks in the country. The tasking
manager has been the tool of choice to manage such a large effort and is a
good use case to develop the tool further.

Some of the challenges in remapping Japan is that it needs to be done in
phases and will require the creation of a large number of projects with
varying levels of difficulty and multilingual instructions[2]. We have
already hit a few early limitations in tracking the progress and have to
come up with solutions like creating a separate map[3] to track the overall
status of the projects.

A few tickets have already been filed in the tasking manager repo for
features that would be valuable to assist in the remapping, and Sanjay
Bhangar (who some of you might already know from the NYPL Digital Gazetteer
project) will be looking at working on these features.

It would be great to have more eyes on the tickets to fine tune the
improvements and make it useful for the larger community requirements. In
the meantime, you can find me (planemad) or Sanjay (batpad) hanging around
at #osm irc anytime, or track the cleanup progress in our mapping repo [4].

For open maps!

Re: [HOT] Urgent Request - Nepal Earthquake - What data can be shared on the maps?

Hey Felix,
The simplest failsafe tool that comes to mind that use the map data we have
put together is fieldpapers: http://fieldpapers.org

You can basically generate A4 sized pdfs of maps for an area of interest.
Field workers can use this to navigate on the ground, and also collect
additional information on the paper including corrections.

These prints can later be scanned and used as a reference by mappers online
to update the map data back on openstreetmap
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=10/28.0029/84.6263 which will become
available to all other map users..

 Whilst we where trying to find options to share this information to other

[HOT] Road classification system in Nepal

2015-04-27 Thread Arun Ganesh
There seems to be inconsistencies in how the roads are classified, with
many National Highways being marked as trunk, primary, secondary, tertiary
and even unclassified.

Based on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nepal/Roads#Road_Classification
and my own experience with roads in India, the tagging should probably be
more like this:

Trunk National Highway (ref=H##): trunk
Feeder Roads (ref=F##): primary
District Roads (ref=D##): secondary

used with appropriate surface=* tag

Can someone from the ground make any recommendations based on practical
use? There does not seem to be any comprehensive documentation of how the
existing tagging scheme came about and it looks quite messy.

The forum has some discussion about this with no clear consensus:

 First welcome to HOT.

 Next read here for background http://hotosm.org/

 http://hotosm.org/get-involved

 OSM mapping maybe slightly different to the way you have mapped before.
 So have a look here:  http://learnosm.org/en/

 JOSM is the OSM tool that many experienced mappers prefer and if you can
 manged to use it it does have some error checking which helps data quality.

 Realistically I strongly suggest you start with a different project to get
 a feel and gain a little experience.  Have a look at how other experienced
 mappers have mapped and see how they have tagged roads etc.  If you click
 on a mappers name you'll see which projects they worked on and how many
 tiles they have done.  Pick one who has done lots of tiles.  Read the
 instructions carefully.  You don't need to completely map a tile to be of
 use, someone else will be along to finish the tile sometime.  So if you
 just want to concentrate on simple things like buildings with the JOSM
 building tool plugin start there and map other objects as you gain
 experience.  Ask questions here.

 The projects are listed here:  http://tasks.hotosm.org/
