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.<br><br>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.<br><br>On the other hand I also found the tasks rather large. I had one assigned by tasking manager which first looked like an easiy one: Mostly open spaces, only a few paths and some buildings. But after looking more closely I noticed that there were many huts, which take quite some time to trace.<br><br>After I while I started using the following method in JOSM to trace the huts:<br>- select a finished hut and copy the tags with ctrl-c<br>- press a and draw a line across the hut<br>- press shift-o to create the circle<br>- press ctrl-shift-v to past tags<br>Although this is rather fast, it still feels somewhat arduous looking at the number of huts. Doing buildings with the
building_tools plugin is much faster. Unfortunatley I'm not familiar with Java, otherwise I would probably rather try to create a corresponding plugin myself.<br><br>So I also decided to unlock my task again. Afterwards I noticed that the changset contained 169 ways - most of the new. I didn't even start to trace the landuse save even trees. So I also think the squares might be too large, I guess a quarter of the current size would give more manageable squares.<br><br>Michael<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>HOT mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:HOT@openstreetmap.org" href="mailto:HOT@openstreetmap.org">HOT@openstreetmap.org</a><br>http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot<br><br><br> </div> </div> </blockquote></div> </div></body></html>
