[HOT] Resized Uganda Tasks

Hi Based on the feedback, we've created two new tasks for Northern Uganda, with a smaller tile size. http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/50 http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/51   This means that any completed squares in the prior jobs need to be manually moved over, can someone help? Sorry for the extra st

Re: [HOT] Northern Uganda Tracing Exercise / Sprint

A third one. Other then Copy/Paste and Resize objects, it is usefull to Rotate objects like the buildings. To rotate an object, keep Ctrl-Upcase pressed,  place the mouse over the object  and move the mouse to rotate the object.   Pierre > > De : Andrew Buck

Re: [HOT] Northern Uganda Tracing Exercise / Sprint

Copy pasting completed huts with the tags on them is the fastest way to do this. One more tip is that in josm select mode you can select a hut and hold down ctrl+alt while you click and drag the mouse to resize the hut. This lets you make a different sized one to copy and paste. With this method

Re: [HOT] Northern Uganda Tracing Exercise / Sprint

There is a simple way to rapidly trace the many huts in JOSM. You first create a way with the appropriate attribute. And next, you copy it were you need to add other huts. 1. Create a circle way representing a hut :  Draw a hut, press shift-o to create a circle and add the attributes. Press Ct

Re: [HOT] Northern Uganda Tracing Exercise / Sprint

Agreed, as it is the tasks are rather large. Also, I have trouble making out smaller buildings at the imagery resolution. When in doubt, I will add a building outline. Martijn On Thu, Aug 16, 2012 at 8:47 AM, Mikel Maron wrote: > Sounds like we should add another zoom level to the task. What t

Sounds like we should add another zoom level to the task. What this would require is deleting the current tasks, and adding new ones. If there are no strong objections to this, will do this over the course of the day.   * Mikel Maron * +14152835207 @mikel s:mikelmaron >_

Re: [HOT] Northern Uganda Tracing Exercise / Sprint

Just as I have been about to give some feedback, the two mails from Sam and Tim cam in. So I'm not the only one going through this. But first of all a huge thanks for the tracing guide. This is something I really appreciate as it helps a lot to come to some consistent tagging. On the other ha

Re: [HOT] Northern Uganda Tracing Exercise / Sprint

Just a little feedback here too - I did two squares using Potlatch - using the main imagery URL - and was able to trace all buildings and roads, I was a bit dissapointed I couldn't see any traditional huts, as the PDF guide said there would be, and assumed the areas was crops and trees. Anyhow, it

Re: [HOT] Northern Uganda Tracing Exercise / Sprint

Robert, I just logged in to the task to see if I could complete a sneaky task on the Gulu Job in my lunch break. The task worked well, and loaded the data and imagery via remote control from my browser - my best experience yet of a user-friendly workflow in the tasking manager :)  Good job HOTt
