I thought OSB wasn't allowing new bug reports? There seem to be a
few from Géovélo, such as

That would be easy if the website were working properly. Evertime I
click a bug on the map, I cannot close the bubble again and have to
reload the page, scroll and zoom to the destination area again, and only
then can open the next bug.

This page has no own database of bugs.

I find the website a bit finnicky too, but clicking on the actual bug
icon (not the bubble and not a different bug's icon. The actual icon
that you originally used to open the bubble) works for me.

Then of course, you can use any of the tools mentioned on the wiki,
the shocokegs website is just one way to edit OSB.

I just want to quickly use the opportunity to thank emka and everybody
else who has worked on OSB over the years, historically and current.

While I'm sure some of you have mixed feelings about the service being
laid to rest, however the concept has proven itself and in the end the
integration in to the main web site can be counted as a big success.

It may have been heised. There's a (german) article about the Night of

Since heise.de is probably the largest german IT-related website, 
there's a bunch of pages that died because of links from one of their

 Surely a bug in OSB should not be marked as 'resolved' until the map has been
 updated.

What you've described is probably another good reason that OSM should
have something of it's own or better integrate with OSB so these kinds
of things can trigger emails if the bug is fixed, if it needs
reopening because it was closed incorrectly etc etc etc.

Re: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetBugs: shared database and translations

2009-10-14 Thread Ed Avis
I tend to use OpenStreetBugs when I spot something on the map that makes no
sense (such as one-way indications that leave you stuck in one place) or where
information is missing (as often when a road and cycleway cross, but there is
neither an explicit intersection nor an explicit layer tag to say they don't
intersect).  Usually this is when investigating a warning from
http://keepright.ipax.at/.

It's also useful to note a feature that should be surveyed and added to the map,
but where you don't have enough information to add it yourself.  For example you
might spot some missing streets from a car window as you drive past, but you
don't know how long they are or their exact position.

Adding a FIXME tag to the map is another way of marking these to-do items, but
that requires the feature to already exist.

Until now, when I have gone out to do mapping I have focused mainly on killing
the no-name highlights, and adding missing paths as a side effect.  But as inner
London is nearly complete now, in future I expect to go armed with a list of
bugs in an area and try to survey them.

The point behind openstreetbugs was/is to provide an extremely easy-to-use
interface for people outside of the mapping community to bring attention to
something that needs to be fixed with the map data.

Think of it as an analogue to the Report a problem feature that appeared
in the US portion of maps.google.com last week.

 they will be quiet.

 Yes it's useful, but I don't see how this addresses the problems of
 OSB being closed. Is this not a third party implementation of the OSB
 JS interface which is not running on the main OSB site, and is the OSB
 bug DB not still closed with no dumps available?


Without putting words in Xaviers mouth, I think this is more of an
issue of time constraints than anything else. Xavier sent a copy of
the source code to Cristoph and me, not sure how big of a step it is
from that to putting that code in subversion.

Consider, it took a long time before we had planet dumps, and
wikipedia has much troubles with the dumps.

 I find OSB very useful (especially with the JOSM plugin), but I'd be

Haven't we discussed that about a hundred times before...

The simple answer is that it's a bad plan - bugs are not map data.

I'm all for having the geo-bugs in the main database, in fact I would
much prefer that, but they should be in a separate table.

 Hi,

 I recently integrated openstreetbugs in the mappa-mercia website. Since
 this received some interest I extracted the osb code from the site and
 made it available for download on http://www.b3e.net/openstreetbugs.html

 The archive contains a modified version of Xavier's osb javascript
 code, some documentation, and four python scripts which implement a
 simple osb server-side. With the code from the archive it is possible
 to deploy a complete osb setup.

 The server-side scripts were mostly developed for testing my modified
 version. They probably need some love and intensive testing before using
 them on a public website.

 All code is made available under GPLv3. I have emailed with Xavier and
 he is fine with this.

Yes it's useful, but I don't see how this addresses the problems of
OSB being closed. Is this not a third party implementation of the OSB
JS interface which is not running on the main OSB site, and is the OSB

AFAIK it is still as closed as before, but my mobile map at

 There is an RSS feed from OpenStreetBugs which is, in effect, a regular
  localised dump. It's what you need if you're mentoring a particular
 area.

 Where is that RSS feed links? I can't find anything in the links page
 or on the main page of www.openstreetbugs.org

Please disregard my question, I just found that you get the RSS link as
soon as you are zoomed in to Level 11.

I always had the impression that no one used OSB in the general area of
Turkey because I never saw any bug icons there, but zooming in deeper
clearly shows some of the icons.

In that case, the problem remains that you can't get a feed of a large but
sparsely populated area like the whole of turkey. Would manipulating the
coordinates in the RSS url work or is there a check for too large areas in
the server code?

Hakan

Hi,

I'm the creator/administrator/grand-gourou of OSB, and I'm always aware 
of this mailing-list :-)

So...

David :
 As the comments are all anonymous, I wonder whether there could be a 
 third mode which is reviewed but not changed which stays on the
 map.

That may be a good idea...
A new step ?
  1. bug to see (the actual non-closed state)
  2. reviewed bug/parked (discussed, strange, etc.)
  3. closed

What do you think ?

 Norbert:
 I would think that adding the data layer to OSB would help very
 much on that issue.
David :
 I think this would be confusing for non mappers for whom this tool is
 primarily intended.

I do not know if it's easy to add this strange layer.
I have no objection because :
  - you think it's useful for your use
  - 95% of the newbies don't try other layers
  - it could be a first approach for them to see THE data

Frederik :
 The OpenStreetBugs source code is not published. Your only way to 
 improve OpenStreetBugs in any way is to politely ask the author to do
 something for you. No SVN or something.

You're half right.
The server side code has never been published.
The client side code is pure Javascript/Ajax... so you can easily view it.

Frederik :
 The data collected by OpenStreetBugs is available exclusively through
 the OpenStreetBugs service.
Matthias :
 and it should have an API to enable editors to get to the data.

There is an embryon of an API.
Regularly, some people ask me for an API. I give it to them with pleasure.
Some external services already use it :
  http://www.andnav.org/
  http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSB_Reports
Maybe other ones.

There is no published API documentation because :
  - the API is not clean
  - I fear it's showing the big hole to spamers (if a spamer want to 
spam OSB, he always will find the hole... but the later the better)

Frederik :
 No regular planet dumps, nothing.

I made one, one day. See there :
http://openstreetbugs.blogspot.com/2008/09/something-new.html

And Gary68 does some tiny dumps regularly :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSB_Reports

 Frederik :
 A daily dump of the database content in any format would probably
 be sufficient for now.
David :
 There is an RSS feed from OpenStreetBugs which is, in effect, a
 regular localised dump. It's what you need if you're mentoring a
 particular area.

David, I think it's just a question of psychology.
People (and Frederik in this case) would be reassured if the data is 
available. Not that they would use it, but it would just be more 
comfortable to know that, in any case, the data is still available.

Regular planet dumps are easy to do but require some warning.
If someone wants to make one big regular dump on its server, I'll be 
glad to give him the instructions.

I can not do it on the server of OSB because :
  - no cron available
  - no access to the file system
  - files should not be more than 1Mb

Hakan :
 Where is that RSS feed links? I can't find anything in the links
 page or on the main page of www.openstreetbugs.org

To be kind with the database, you can only get the data of a small area. 
The RSS link will appear at the bottom right if you zoom an area.

If you want a global survey of OSB, you can go there :
http://openstreetbugs.appspot.com/stats/lastTen
This is not useful at all... just funny...

Frederik :
 If the author gets run over by a bus tomorrow then we have nothing
 left.

Ouch.
I'm less important than data. :-)
But you are right. This is a problem.

Frederik :
 If the above is true then I'm all for implementing our own, open 
 version of OpenStreetBugs, instead of further popularizing the 
 existing application.

Or you should ask the author to publish his code. :-)

I've been conservative at the beginning because :
  - I feared that some script kiddies would make duplicated OSBs and 
duplicated content.
  - I feared that everybody would not agree with the simplicity of OSB 
(this extreme simplicity is its strong in my opinion)

Now it is well known. I'm okay to publish the sources.
  - the server side is quite special (GoogleAppEngine/BigTable)
  - the client side is ugly and some would want to rewrite it from the start
  - I'm not certain it would be beneficial for the simplicity of OSB

If someone has some advices in terms of open-source project management, 
contact me.

Matthias :
 Or even an OSB layer on the main map?

That's a good idea.
This can be done by anybody :
  - the javascript client is public
  - the server side is accessible via an API


Kyle :
 As far as I can see, OSB is aimed at regular users who are not
 terribly interested in contributing, but would happily click a button
 _or two_ to report an error.

That's exactly my point of view !
Keep It Simple.
Or use Potlatch.

RalfZ :
 People typically write posts on the mailing lists when things don't 
 work. I want to tell you that I think OpenStreetBugs works nicely in

 Where is that RSS feed links? I can't find anything in the

Further to this, when you are using the website, how do you know how
old the comments are in case they are already fixed. There are two
near here. One says there is another road here and I don't know
whether it means a nearby farm track which isn't currently mapped or
the road it is (now) on. The other says the coastline joining to the
river isn't done correctly at a point where the coastline joins to
another bit of coastline. I'm tempted to close them both, but don't
know how old they are or how to contact the person who added them
for more details.

OK. I've answered my own question and clicked in the bottom left

items with date (July 2008). Now to check the history on the
relevant ways to see if they are newer.

For that to be really useful it should be even more prominent.  There
could be a link on www.openstreetmap.org (not necessarily on the map)
that says: Something wrong on the map? Report it here!  that links
to the same location, zoom and layer on OSB.

Re: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetBugs

2008-11-25 Thread Ralf Zimmermann
People typically write posts on the mailing lists when things don't work.

I want to tell you that I think OpenStreetBugs works nicely in the area of 
Munich, Germany.
I am writing comments on OSB every now and then and I am checking it pretty 
regularly. In Munich I would say we have established a nice way of using the 
tool.

I have seen unexperienced users giving hints about features that are wrong or 
missing on the map. These messages have been answered in a very productive way.

I have seen experienced users asking for opinions on unclear information. These 
entries have sometimes triggered very useful discussions on those items that 
only locals know.

And all of that took place on those little notes you can leave on OSB.

In Munich, the OSM data is almost complete. And I think OSB is a valuable help 
for filling in those small gaps that we have.


Thanks a lot for the tool!

Please correct me if I'm wrong but it seems to me that

* The OpenStreetBugs source code is not published. Your only way to 
improve OpenStreetBugs in any way is to politely ask the author to do 
something for you. No SVN or something.

* The data collected by OpenStreetBugs is available exclusively through 
the OpenStreetBugs service. No regular planet dumps, nothing.

If the author gets run over by a bus tomorrow then we have nothing left.

If the above is true then I'm all for implementing our own, open version 
of OpenStreetBugs, instead of further popularizing the existing application.

So your average user, who is just having a look for his house will go to 
the hassle of finding the mailing list, signing up, approving his email,

As far as I can see, OSB is aimed at regular users who are not terribly

Sure, that might be feasible, but in order to prevent useless alerts
again and again, because the demanded data is already in OSM. We should
catch those before it reaches us. That can be done to give visitors to

  to convert FIXME notes to bugs in openstreetbugs
 
 That's a serious work. It implies duplicated data, and thus consistency 
 issues and policies.

I mean parsing the .osc files shouldnt be too hard and putting
the FIXMEs with their corresponding OSM object id (way, point) into
the bug database so a collision by duplicate FIXMEs should be impossible 
(as long as adding the same FIXME with the same object id again is
prohibited).

A validation of the bugs should be possible by querying the object id
from the OSM database and checking for the note/FIXME tag - so closing the
bug from an editor would be as simple as removing the FIXME.

The only dupe issue i would see is a user adding a manual Bug via the
openstreetbugs webpage and me adding a FIXME to a way.
So we end up with 2 bugs at the same spot. This is where i thought about
bug merging e.g. clicking to bugs and saying merge. If one of the bugs
would be dependent on an OSM object this would be taken to the new
merged bug...

 Thinking of it, another solution would be to show FIXMES on the Maplint 
 layer... or another special rendered layer.
 
 I put this feature is on the far bottom of the ToDo list...

:) 

  The other one would be to load the openstreetbugs into a JOSM layer.
  So take the OSB gpx file - do the survey - load the map into JOSM and
  load the bugs aswell to show the positions to focus on.
 
 Do you propose a new feature that I do not understand? Do you know that 
 it's already possible to open the OSB-GPX into JOSM? You get a new layer 
 with bugs on it.
 
 Maybe you propose a JOSM plugin to download automatically bugs from OSB? 
 (If somebody want to do that...)

Yep that i meant - automagically loading the openstreetbugs layer into
josm.

  So it would probably not even be necessary to do survey, just to open
  the editor so this would make this type of workflow much faster and
  simpler.
 
 The advantage of being formal, with a workflow, is that it's efficient.
 But you could loose the human interaction with the newbies (your 
 parents). I think it's important for them to see that there are people 
 behind and that they can also work with better tools than OSB : potlatch 
 and JOSM.
 
  Another idea would probably be to classify bugs from a drop down
  list. Looking at the TomTom Mapshare stuff this is really nice. Just
  the top 10 causes for mapping errors - Spelling, Junction Changed,
  Road Changed etc. This could be used to display different icons and
  make it obvious what to look for on the survey ;).
 
 This is a frequently proposed feature. However, I really like the 
 extreme simplicity and liberty.
 Also, I think there is too many kind of errors to be obvious. If I had 
 another kind of marker, that would be a no-bug marker, just to discuss 
 with other mappers.

I guess we simply need to start using it and see what needs come up by
dealing with the bugs.

Good idea !
Done.

Lauri Hahne :
 my main gripe about your program is that bugs can't have different
 severity ratings and that these ratings aren't visible.

Let's see what will be the uses before adding constrains :-)

 The current 'x' icon is very hostile and upfront

So, as a local mapper, it is very grateful to make them disappear (by 
correcting them of course) :-)

 it's a bad idea to use this same hostile icon as favicon

What should I put ?

Simon :
 Are the 'bugs' timestamped, can they be marked as fixed (squashed bug
 icon?) for a few days and then auto-magically disappear?

Thanks for the idea, I made it.
The closed bugs can't be modified and they disappear after a week (to be 
sure that Mapnick is refreshed).

2 things i have on my mind but consider them just ideas. One would be as

possible just to do this incrementally, processing the osc files from

some reason its not a real problem. Either we miss bugs (which are still
FIXMEs) or we miss closes where the problem will be fixed so the bug can
easily be considered done. Also a verification run for old bugs could be
done via the normal OSM API.

The other one would be to load the openstreetbugs into a JOSM layer. So

I somehow have the feeling that there are people out there who take pride in
having 'their' area mapped accurately and would scamper out to fix bugs
(almost) as soon as they get the notification. This leads to something that
people can become area stewards.

The email could contain the GPX file as attachment for easy upload to GPS.

 When bugs get overhead joining of bugs would make sense. Imagine
 beeing able to get into the TomTom stuff and using OSM maps and
 diverting the MapShare button to OpenStreetBugs ;)

Subscribe to it via the RSS feed and use an rss2email program ;)

 I somehow have the feeling that there are people out there who take pride in
 having 'their' area mapped accurately and would scamper out to fix bugs
 (almost) as soon as they get the notification. This leads to something that
 people can become area stewards.

Is there any way it can be made to work with Internet Explorer? I think
that's really important if you're looking to use as a way for anyone to

Re: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetBugs

2008-06-18 Thread simon

 In fact, this is how it works (the marks are not really deleted but
 closed). But I do not know exactly how to render the closed marks. After
 a while, there would be a lot of noisy closed marks... So I preferred
 to hide them and say that they have been deleted.

 You can see the deleted marks by adding old=true at the end of the
 URL of an RSS feed or of a GPX file.


Are the 'bugs' timestamped, can they be marked as fixed (squashed bug
icon?) for a few days and then auto-magically disappear?

Simon.

Having done some human-computer-interaction courses at uni, my main
gripe about your program is that bugs can't have different severity
ratings and that these ratings aren't visible. The current 'x' icon is
very hostile and upfront and should only be used to represent fatal
errors in map, not to mark missing streets or typos. In addition it's
a bad idea to use this same hostile icon as favicon. You should rather
use something friendly and comfortable.

Cool. Any chance you could remove the Google Analytics code? Not
only does it give me Javascript error messages (_gat is not defined),
but I always have the feeling - don't know whether it's justified -
that they use it to collect data about me.

one thing that would be very useful xav - rather than having 'del

would it be a good idea to be able to open new bugs by adding a tag to
a node in the map ? I mean we have a lot of FIXMEs and note why not
a tag names bug ? The bug could then be closed once the tag has been
removed. I often find myself in the position that i dont know things for
certain so i add a FIXME to make clear that this is incomplete and needs
verification. Those show up in the maplint layer. 

Beeing shown in the openstreetbugs would be fantastic and when combined
with some kind of subscription to an area and probably RSS feed the the
other bug tracker it make life easy as i would simply print the bugs for
an area and have a Sunday evening bike ride ;)

Re: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetBugs

2008-06-13 Thread Steven te Brinke
It looks like updates done by the script are not fully correct. Deleting 
results in an empty balloon and still existing node. However, after 
refreshing it is correct. When adding a bug, it disappears when I hit 
OK. However, at that moment the bug I added before appears. Thus I 
always miss the last one added, but see all others. (I'm using FF3.)


Besides that, it is very nice.

Steven

Very Cool. Deleting doesn't seem to work properly and if you add a bug
when POI layer is disable you can enter details but it does not stick.

In terms of usage where is the list of bugs maintained and can it be
automatic split down into regions? There nothing like a bit of competition
to get local teams motivated (my list has less bugs than yours...).

Since we have mailing lists for different countries, would that be a
suitable split?

How about changing the marker to be a bug outline :-)

Cheers,
Simon.
