Re: [HOT] A project that needs validators and very experienced mappers

[Blake Girardot HOT/OSM]

Hi Enock,

That got fixed, sorry I missed your email on it.

Thank you for trying Enock, the project went very well, thank you to
all who had a chance to participate (it went fast too).

8 validators fixed about 200 JOSM road network issues, plus a little
bit here and that they noticed while they were at it and had an impact
across basically the entire Area of Interest (aoi).

Nice work! You can see it sort of visualized here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6eiTej1JHydWGhRQk9yWk1EZE0/view?usp=sharing

The square or two I did was mostly filling in bridges (road crosses
waterway) and fords which is critical data, but connecting up roads
that are not connected is just as critical to routing applications.

I think projects like this would be really useful in the disaster
response mapping workflow in the future. Thank you again validators!

Respectfully,
blake

Hi,

Thank you both for letting me know. We got this error fixed about 30
mins later. Turns out some markdown text in the per task instructions
caused the issue.

Re: [HOT] A project that needs validators and very experienced mappers

[majka]

The same. Got the JSON through api, tried to get gpx but probably wrong
url.
Task manager throws error.

Going now with brute force - downloaded the area, validating and checking
errors. Starting from west, will upload almost constantly.

Re: [HOT] A project that needs validators and very experienced mappers

[Blake Girardot HOT/OSM]

After thinking this over a bit more, I changed the instructions.

This should only be to run existing data through josm validation and
then fix the road related errors and warnings that are ease.

It looks like Mapbox has most of the imagery things were mapped from
so far so be sure to consult mapbox.

So far it goes fast in the more rural areas, map in a few bridges, a
few fords, fix some overlapping roadway and done.

Just the jsom validation would have a noticeable impact on the road
network with the benefit of being pretty quick and easy for validators
and very experienced road mappers.

I passed the request along to a local Costa Rica Mapper. Sure be nice if we
could get some cloud free imagery. I've drive some of the area in the task
area, but not that familiar.

[HOT] A project that needs validators and very experienced mappers

[Blake Girardot]

I created a project that is all about validation.

http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/2352

It is for the road network of the most affected areas from Tropical Storm Otto.

The local osm community has asked us to help in some way to improve
their map data as soon as possible. They are GIS skilled folks who
know how to use osm data in real life.

We need validators to basically do road network validation + some
major road (tertiary and above) filling in.

Disaster response folks are using another source for their geographic
data in that area. But as I said, there is an experienced, skilled osm
community in Costa Rica that are working to get OSM data wider
exposure so said it is worth it to them to still do a project like
this to improve the OSM data in the most affected region..

This sort of project is also one that goes well with routing
applications, fixing the low hanging fruit or really easy road fixes
has a great impact on the usability of OSM routing in disaster areas.
We have talked about seeing how we might make projects like this more
standard pre-disaster phase for weather related disasters.

It also gives validators a great over view of an area that might be
coming up more as other building-only type projects so can identify
issues the project creator missed early, if any.

Please, if you are a validtor, let us see what we can do with this
project and your feedback is encouraged.

So lets see what validators, experienced josm users and the road
mapping enthusiasts can do here!

Validators: I know this takes away from validating new users mapping,
which is a critical part of your work, but if you could find a few
minutes to just validate the road data in one task square (they are
big) I think it would really help Costa Rica OSM and OSM in general.

Validators can get support for this project in HOT IRC or the HOT
Slack linked below.
