[talk-au] MapRoulette challenges

[Martijn van Exel]

Hi folks.

The Telenav team continuously runs a series of data integrity checks on OSM 
data that we’re interested in. The OSM wiki has an overview [1].

Now some of these are easy fixes, and that means they make interesting 
MapRoulette challenges. For example here’s a challenge that highlights 
suspicious ’name’ values, such as values that contain a semicolon or comma: 
https://maproulette.org/mr3/browse/challenges/3316 
 It spans both Australia 
and New Zealand and has a total of 271 tasks.

I invite you to try it, especially if you haven’t used MapRoulette before. We 
can deploy more of them if there’s an appetite. 

Anyone can create challenges on MapRoulette, so if there’s something you want 
fellow mappers to look at, feel free to set it up. I am happy to assist.

Happy Mapping — 

Martijn

[Warin]

Hi,

BBC article on renaming Ozie places may be of interest to some

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-46258060


Has links to a Welsh place with several different spellings, and to 
'rude' place names in Oz.
