I am one of the newcomers. I am not a GIS scientist & learnt on
the job and am relatively lightweight, however I know that I am
perfectly capable of making a contribution but the (HOT)OSM process
is not clear:<br>
<br>
As is mentioned in several previous posts*, there is a lack of
guidance and aims. <br>
<br>
I have spent most of this morning not contributing because I have
been trying to find out what to do & how to do it. I am not
stupid and if I have missed a link to instructions, then how many
other (willing to learn) people have? As part of the strategy to
maintain quality, surely the signposts to learning should be given
great prominence & be unmissable?<br>
<br>
Are the aims of disaster mapping different to those of other mapping
? In an non-emergency one can spend some time trying to work out
what a feature's properties are. Also, for example, how to
interpret from poor imagery say a path or track is it suitable for
vehicles etc, or whether to even include it.<br>
