Hi all, I've set up a poll to solicit feedback, with the items below. Yes i know we're a bit into Q2 already.
https://framadate.org/iICunKdggDUaDEmE "Yes" for "This sounds OK", "No" for no, "ifneedbe" (yellow tick) for "I'd need someone to explain this to me before mapping". Rory On 26/03/18 22:24, Rory McCann wrote:
Hi guys, gals and non-binary pals, Some OSM groups have "quarterly projects" where they improve the state of something in OSM in their area, e.g. the UK OSM community once worked on schools in the UK for a quarter. How about we do that? Every quarter (3 months) pick some topic, something that is traditionally underrepresented in OSM, and we try to improve the state of that in OSM. There's been lots of legit talk lately about what is and isn't mapped in OSM, so let's try to map it! There's more than just adding data. We could also try to improve documentation (written/video), editor presets, figure out tagging schemes, map rendering, finding data to use, etc. But we're a geographically spread group, so we can all probably add something to the map. There are things that aren't mapped in OSM, so let's map them! 🙂 Any ideas for topics? Off the top of my head: the recently mentioned amenity=childcare tag, recently mentioned women's health care facilities, wheelchair accessibility, gay bars, gendered toilets for trans/gnc/etc people, minority language? HOT/MM is already doing a lot in areas where the maps are missing 😉. Any more ideas? Nearly all of us are privileged in some axis, so someone not in that group must be careful not to tell marginalized people how to map their thing, and ensure we map it correctly ("The X tag is useless now after all those diversity people added all that junk!") What do yous think? Would many be interested in taking part?
