先日に開催されたSotM USA @PDX のメモがOSM-dev MLに投稿されていました
簡単に共有します。
皆さんからなにかOSMの向上に参加して、OSM普及に貢献できるところがあれば
素晴らしいと思います。

## OpenStreetMap.org
継続的な向上が重要
翻訳が向上のボトルネック
## Mapnik style
もっと、デフォルトの地図のスタイルをオープンに向上できないか？
## Getting data out of osm.org
もっとダウンロードを簡単に、直感的にできないか？
## Social Experience
Mapperたちのつながりをもっと支援できるようなサイト作りはできないか？
Changesetにコメントできる機能とか？
## First time mapping
はじめてのマッピング。アカウントを作ったら、次にすることは？
Getting Started： はじめてのガイドが不十分で、編集する前にやめちゃう人がもったいない。
## Editing
編集。OSMデータは複雑なのでエディターづくりは難しい。
potlatchのJavascriptベースへの移植 ID は進んでいる。
IDのアルファバージョンは、年内にでるだろう。

Subject: [OSM-dev] Notes - OSM improvements BoF at SOTM PDX

Hello everyone -
Here are my (slightly edited) notes from the Birds of a Feather session on the
Knight grant and OSM improvements we had at PDX. Much of what's been mentioned
meshes closely with the OSM Wishlist thread [1]. Please fill in / expand /
contest where you see fit.
Just like the wishlist thread this is a pretty open ended list, but doing this
kind of giant brain dump is really, really useful for getting oriented and
finding out where to dig into prior work.

## OpenStreetMap.org
- There is a big value in tightening the design of OpenStreetMap.org
- Small, continuous improvements are the way to go rather than a
change-everything redesign
- That said, we'll want to rethink some of the paradigms on osm.org
- Making the rails port easier to set up brings more contributors, installing
got a lot easier, there are still pain points that are harder to solve.
- Translations are a frequent bottleneck for copy changes, unclear how to solve
this.
## Mapnik style
- How could the Mapnik style be more open to improvements? We definitely need
to get it on GitHub.
- Should we have multiple canonical styles?
## Getting data out of osm.org
- Starting from osm.org it could be more straightforward to find proper
download options
- Export tab on osm.org is one of the most popular locations, but needs a lot
of improvement. E.g. it does not explain how the downloaded data can be used.
How can export be more actionable?
- There is an expectation problem around data downloads from osm - why exactly
would a user download from the export tab, what are they looking for? why is
embedding under exporting? if an export fails due to its size, it's not clear
where to go to get a larger dump.
- Should SVG export be replaced with something else, or improved in Mapnik
enough to be worthwhile?
- How can third party services like geofabrik's shapefile exports (or jXAPI) be
tied in better?
- (not a data export topic but came up here) there are needs around
managing/merging external vector datasources, there's work around that in
potlatch.
## Social Experience
- Improving the social experience on OSM.org is not about integrating with
social platforms like Facebook, but about making it easier for mappers to
connect.
- There is a gap between the broad, public mailing lists that many are not
subscribed to and private messages, leading for instance to situations where
individuals can be flooded with dozens of personal messages in the case of
disputed changesets.
- Github style commenting on changesets with appropriate notifications could be
useful.
- There are notes from OSM ux session in Washington DC earlier this year
(where?)
- Privacy and safety is tantamount.
- On osm.org user profile, it would be more useful to see who's mapping in your
area than who's living in your area.
- If someone modifies OSM data within a few days after you did, it would be
awesome to see a note in your user profile feed about that.
- OWL is setting an important precedent for social features but is currently
down due to technical difficulties.
- live.openstreetmap.fr is another great example
- Activity streams is a nascent effort in this space
- We'll want to focus on solid bottom line features that we know work well,
rather than going all out on bells and whistles.
- Could OSM.org facilitate groups of common interest? E. g. 'cycling' or
'Portland, OR'. Could we for instance have diary entries in certain areas or
with certain tags show up in the feed of our user profiles?
- How could community events be highlighted on osm.org? On your user profile?
## First time mapping
- What happens after you sign up? Where do you go next? How many people do we
lose before the first edit because we just don't do a good job explaining how
to get started?
- We could drip feed people emails with useful information after they signed
up, maybe just one a week after s/o signed up and didn't edit, maybe a week
after s/o did a single edit.
- The emerging Welcome Working Group will ideally be able to shed
