Hi all, > Cross post to talk-ie (we are working on a quarterly project to map schools - feel free to join (see item 3 below).
A few updates for the schools mapping project. As always there is also the page on the wiki for quick reference ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_Quarterly_Projects ). 0. Changeset comments Don't forget to add #OSMschools to your changeset comments. I will ask Pascal Neis for an updated "Who's contributing" dataset next week. 1. Calling all video tutorial experts I've put out a call on Mappa Mercia's twitter (and now here) asking for someone to create a very short "How to map schools in iD" video. I think this will help with engaging new communities so if you feel up to the task give me a shout :-) 2. Robert's data by postcode. Robert W has updated his comparison site to enable you to download the schools by postcode data as a geojson. Example download URL is: http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/schools/progress/B/data.js Once downloaded, open the file, delete the first line ("var matched = ") and save. 3. Northern Ireland data I have downloaded a snapshot of Northern Ireland "schools plus" data from 2016-01-12 and asked Robert to add it to his comparison tool. Source: https://www.deni.gov.uk/services/schools-plus (go to the schools plus site, click the "All institutions" button followed by the export link on the left). It includes items in "schools" and "non-schools" grouping as set out at http://apps.deni.gov.uk/appinstitutes/InstViewInstType.aspx If you want a copy of my pre-processed data then let me know. 4. Isle of Man data This is online if anyone wants it. Given it is a smaller community I would prefer to encourage them to add it to the map. The video tutorial will help here :-) Data at: https://www.gov.im/categories/education-training-and-careers/schools-and-colleges/ 5. ITO World map of schools This map is mainly useful for OpenStreetMap contributors who want to ensure that they collect names for all schools in an area.
