We mapped about 50 trees, and will be doing many more during this month. the Procedure that we followed, one hour of field on the street with fieldpapers to mark the positions of the trees, and then we returned to the lab and mapped the trees with name and address.

We will be starting this project with a question to investigate. The question is to know the serial killer of rain treen in Mumbai. About 400 trees died in the last 3-4 years. So, initially we will be mapping all the rain trees in the city and its suburbs. We will have about a hundred volunteers and we expect to finish rain tree mapping by the end of January. And the investigation will continue. 1. when we add a tree, we also add its name etc. however, this information does not appear. The tree dot is visible but does not have any info. One has to go to edit interface to check the information added. How to go about this? We'll need to make a custom rendering style for this. Nobody seems to have looked into this yet. This is not a show stopper now, but eventually it will be good to have the information. I will not focus on this issue at all. This is just to say, what do we need in OSM. 2. under the type of trees, we would like to add some more types. is this possible? how to go about doing this? Looks like this list can be expanded in the iD editor code: https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/blob/master/data/presets/fields/tree_typ e.json You can see the list of commonly used tree tags at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dtree which could be helpful for the mappers. I looked at this. We need to record some additional type of information. e.g. if there is any pest found on the tree. name of the pest: This is important for us since the rain trees are dying because of a pest called meal worm. The other thing is to note if the tree is situated at a cemented land or open land. If one of you can help getting this extra information, or tell us how to pursue this with OSM, that will be good. Or else, if you guys can setup a separate server for this, that is always the best. btw, what happened to the idea of setting up of a osm.in? -- GN ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in

I will first make a csv file with schoolname, district, pincode. We will keep updating this with lat.long, possibly from the above link given by Ravi. After this I will attend to the challenge of shape files for each pincode area. Initially we will keep the schools randomly around the lat/long,and then get it corrected through some citizen science engagement. -- GN signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in

Thej and Nisha are also cc-ed herewith. gnowledge lab has recently acquired a deidated server for openstreetmap. Johnson, Sanjay, Sathyakam, Sajjad and Arun have already promised to maintain the server. (included them in cc since I am not sure if I am subscribed to the talk-in group. We need a separate map server since NCERT and TISS are currently doing big impact projects in open educational resources for school students and online courses for enhancing skills for undergraduate students. gnowledge lab is involved in both these projects. In the latter project we are already using open street map. Hundreds of students are being exposed to osm as a part of the course. In the coming three years, we are going to work with 50,000 undergraduate students across the country. Considering these are Govt of India supported projects we need to take care of the borders as per Indian Govt. Therefore the need to create custom maps. Arun is interested to do multi-lingual custom maps for school education. NCERT is also interested in this project. The server will be made available to installations on this Monday and hosted at osm.metaStudio.org. Can we also perhaps point openstreetmap.in to the same server? +1 that is the idea. the machine will be mapped to two domains. I will send the public IP soon where ngnix virtual hosting config will be, so that the dns can be directed to this. -- GN ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in
