Re: [OSM-talk] Wikimedia Maps deployment
also i believe a multi-lingual map will require vector tiles to be dynamic, which is being worked on as well On Thu, May 3, 2018, 3:36 AM Eugene Alvin Villar,wrote: > On Thu, May 3, 2018 at 2:50 PM, Daniel Koć wrote: > >> It's also good that they were able to deploy multiple language versions >> - we would hit this problem anyway, sooner or later, and I hope that >> eventually we will be able to provide them too. >> > > FWIW, multi-language maps is one of the Top Ten Tasks defined by the > Engineering Working Group of the OSM Foundation. > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Top_Ten_Tasks#Localized_map_rendering > > There's also the ongoing thread on this same mailing list: > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2018-April/080560.html > > ___ > talk mailing list > talk@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk > ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

[OSM-talk] Wikimedia Maps deployment
Hi, Wikimedia are currently working hard on deploying maps based on OSM data - some basic information and links are here: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=62086 Now they started including them on the project Wikis: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps#Wikimedia_projects_that_have_Maps_enabled What is important for us is that these maps can have defined language and Wikimedians will try to add localized names for different places. However they don't know how to do it properly, so it might end up with massive low quality name imports from Wikidata. It would be good to prepare step-by-step guide to help them to resolve this issue: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T193656 We have a page related to Wikipedia/Wikimedia on our wiki, where it could be linked along with native Wikimedia Maps page: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wikipedia https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Maps#How_to_guides_and_more_information *** Apart from these problems, I'm very happy with reusing our data for such an important open project. It's also good that they were able to deploy multiple language versions - we would hit this problem anyway, sooner or later, and I hope that eventually we will be able to provide them too. -- "My method is uncertain/ It's a mess but it's working" [F.
