I second Tom and Mikael, maybe a kind of rédaction to keep the date could be done? Not sure it's worth the effort though. Yves ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Re: [OSM-talk] proposed mechanical edit - moving FIXME=* to fixme=*

Hi, I support this edit. This spring, I was working on changeset validation code and I was quite surprised to find that FIXME (an invalid key) was so prevalent in the database. I had to collect a bunch of extra validation changesets with the FIXME tag present to train the neural network that an a

Generally, of course, yes, but there was a talk by someone who had estimated the population of a seasonally inhabited village by mapping buildings that are demolished each year. -- Andrew From: Jean-Marc Liotier Sent: 02 July 2018 15:25:38 To: Vao Matua Cc: talk

[OSM-talk] proposed mechanical edit - moving FIXME=* to fixme=*

fixme tag is a standard way to mark fixmes. Editors wishing to finish mapping in their area would (directly or indirectly, for example using JOSM) look through objects tagged with fixme tags. FIXME tag is an unexpected way to mark fixmes, retagging this duplicate to fixme key would improve tagging

When you say "low quality" buildings, do you mean the quality of the polygon data or are you judging someone's home to be of low value? On Mon, Jul 2, 2018 at 1:24 AM, Jean-Marc Liotier wrote: > Active in Senegal and Mali, I have noticed that changesets tagged with > tasking-manager HOT projects

Re: [OSM-talk] Why the HOT obsession with low quality buildings in Africa ?

Low quality building mapping is pretty general in Africa, I mentioned Malawi still has some 4,805 duplicate buildings in the HOT mailing list very recently which as a percentage of the buildings mapped is probably fairly low but is still a concern. The problem is one of data quality, is OSM reliab

Re: [OSM-talk] Why the HOT obsession with low quality buildings in Africa ?

Many humanitarian groups use buildings as a rough proxy for population (density), or to ensure every household is covered during a vaccination campaign, or simply to navigate. Likely they use them for a combination of the three. As Phil says, it’s best to read the specific task. As a side note, it

[OSM-talk] Why the HOT obsession with low quality buildings in Africa ?

Active in Senegal and Mali, I have noticed that changesets tagged with tasking-manager HOT projects produce very large numbers of buildings. Those buildings appear to be of very low quality. I wonder: who uses this data ? If it is only necessary to assess that people live there, then a landuse=res
