Re: [Talk-us] the Battle Grid

2013-09-14 Thread Martijn van Exel
I have been playing around with the tile size a little. Bigger tiles
means you end up looking around for what to improve once you load all
the data into JOSM. Also, bigger tiles means the results get flattened
more - a big tile with a small subdivision that needs a lot of work
may not be flagged very prominently. The smaller tiles have the
disadvantage you mention. The grid will get refreshed every week or
so, so even if you work in an adjacent tile and don't mark it done, it
will disappear from the grid anyway. I ended up with this size as a
trade off, I think it works well, so please take the leap :)

 Martijn,
 For the upcoming #Editathon, we plan to fix road alignment in Washington
 State. Eric Fischer pointed me to your Battle Grid website. I plan introduce
 it at the #Editathon. Originally I was just going to list cities and ask
 people to work on a city. However, you tool is much better. I'd like to make
 one request of you. Is it possible to increase the size of the color tiles?
 When opening in iD, they seem too small. You end up working on surrounding
 areas before you know it. Since iD automatically brings in new data as you
 scroll around, it's easy to be working in adjacent tiles. This isn't a show
 stopper by any means. If it's too much work or doesn't make any sense to
 you, just tell me to take a flying leap!

 Thanks,

 P.S. Great tool, BTW. I showed it to folks at Census Bureau where there was
 quite a bit of interest in MapRoulette as a model of how to do QC on TIGER
 data


I'd be interested to start a conversation with Census on how to target
TIGER improvements based on this grid, or a similar analysis. Perhaps
something Eric Fischer would also be interested in. Can you
facilitate, Steven?
