Re: [HOT] Tagging hut=yes

The HOT convention seems to be tag them building=yes. OSM and HOT are slightly different in OSM it is acceptable to tag a node rather than the HOT convention circle. Because HOT has a lot of very new mappers and their work is validated ie often corrected I think it is important to clarify this.

[HOT] Activation Working Group - end hiatus

Hello all, It's been a crazy month going around the world training up our core Activation volunteers in Africa and Southeast Asia (with pit-stop in Central Asia to visit the HOT intern team there). And it's been hectic ever since I got home, so sorry for the little to no advanced notice, but I

Re: [HOT] highways from Africover import with tag AUTO_ID removal

hi Rafael, I asked something similar in 2010 and was told that the IDs can be removed: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2010-March/049175.html https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2010-March/049207.html I don't think I've touched any Africover data for a while, but when I

Re: [HOT] highways from Africover import with tag AUTO_ID removal

Hi, Joseph: Thanks for the info. Just after sending this email to the HOT list, I also sent an OSM message to Tim McWright (OSM user tmcw) to ask him for information. He told me to "go ahead", as "the tag isn't relevant to OpenStreetMap". He said too that there is actually one page documenting th

Re: [HOT] Tagging hut=yes

Hi all, Just giving my two cents. For me mapping a building like a hut does not signify a lot. What is exactly a hut? Is it just a round building? Round buildings can be made out of several materials and have several different functions. Also why would a round building get another tag if a square

Re: [HOT] Outreachy Round 10 Presentation

Hey Mhairi and outreachy interns, This is great! Sadly I will not be able to join the hangout. But wondering if we can get an update (or blog post?) after the hangout on what the interns exactly did, on their experiences on interning with HOT and also very curious for their future plans! Best gr

Re: [HOT] Tagging hut=yes

Greetings, In many countries people’s houses, churches, workshops and other buildings are round, not square. Or, a building can be a combination of round and square. So tagging should be building=yes. Just because a building is round does not make it a “hut”, whatever that means. It’s a home,

Re: [HOT] Tagging hut=yes

I agree with Suzan and Jorieke, both in general and specifically as someone closely involved with the project around task 1034. While this issue may still be in discussion among the HOT community, I can say that for this project, the simple building tag is preferred instead of hut. Thank you, Chri

Re: [HOT] Beta Release of the Redeveloped Export Tool

Hey Severin, Brian and I saw all the GitHub issues you logged. Thank you very much for these! We're just going through these now as we are preparing for the live release. In regards to the Schema Transform and Language Translation, please see the following issue [1]. I would like to track it in G

Re: [HOT] Tagging hut=yes

At the Red Cross we've used building =Hut looking at fire prevention in Uganda in 2012. Generally these buildings were round and all tags were field verified. We also use it in some field mapping activities once we know the basic construction type. However, I agree with a lot that has been said alr

Hi Enya, I am managing project 1192. I just looked, but I think someone beat me to it and the squares have been validated. Good work and thanks for contributing! Pete On Mon, Sep 28, 2015 at 2:56 PM, Enja Muenter wrote: > Hello everyone, > > My name is Enya, I'm a German expat in Ireland. How a
