[Talk-us] plea for bot quality control
as i work my way west along the PA/NY border fixing connectivity problems, i'm suitably impressed by the patches west of Waverly/NY 17 where the ways are missing, only the nodes have been left behind. please, bots are powerful tools. don't run bots that do things like remove dups unless you have a quality control plan. please. thanks, richard ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Richard, You might want to extend your message to talk as there are quite a few bots running that are not maintained by US based contributors. In PA I have seen a lot of duplicate nodes fixed but with duplicate ways left behind. I messaged some of the users doing this but did not get any response so far.

Re: [Talk-us] plea for bot quality control
Perhaps a bot to auto-ban accounts that are running unauthorized bots ;) Seriously though, I've all-but stopped contributing to the map until after the SOTMs because of issues like this. One of the other things that OSM desperately needs is a way to coordinate tagging across editors and renderers. Yes I know that the traditional answer is tag for reality, not for the renderer, but in all seriousness, the data is useless without renderers and vice-versa. I haven't had the time lately to check-in with the US SOTM group, but I'd like to see a schema file for tags that have gone through the approval process that JOSM, mkgmap, Mapnik, Potlatch, etc... can all read. Obviously, the file would need to be kept centralized and only be writable by a limited number of people. CVS, GIT, and MediaWIKI all have user-rights functions to accomplish this. Any takers?

Shaun Well, it wasn't. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/275622 If you mean it should be mapped that way, that's the whole use separate ways only when physically divided (after all, you might be routing for ambulances) question. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] US meetups?
I like the way Jim has broken out the components of US OSM pages. Some of these are probably better as wiki pages, others as more static pages. But having it in 'bite sized chunks' makes it easier to divide the work and manage the tasks.

That's a good question that we should probably all discuss. My opinion is that it should be a one-stop-shop for growing the US OSM community. Not entirely sure what that entails, but I imagine it starts with: - a calendar - pages for specific communities both new and established (the DC and Bay Area folks come to mind) - resources for getting involved (for someone that maybe doesn't want to commit to a mapping party yet but still wants to be involved?) - ...I ran out of ideas Any others? I like the ideas that Richard Weait has of integrating it with more social networking tools. I'm not entirely sure how that would be done without being too obtrusive. People coming to the openstreetmap.us website are going to be interested in: - Events - Mapping parties - Meetups - Talks - How people can help - Holding Mapping Parties - Doing Personal Mapping - Ideas - Funding OpenStreetMap.us - at least it should be easy for them to do so - Learning more about the organization - How to get a hold of people - Equipment needed to map - walking papers - GPSes There's really a lot that can go into it. The wiki format would make it easy for the community to add these things as people wish to see them, but isn't as attractive to people that aren't used to technical webpages. - Jim McAndrew ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
