<div dir="ltr">John,<div><br></div><div>Last night I validated one of the tasks (I have done quite a bit of validating before on a couple of other projects). I ran into these dilemmas:</div><div><br></div><div>1) If the instructions explicitly say not to map something (e.g. tracks) but some were mapped and were done so correctly by the generally accepted practices in OSM, do you leave them? I did.</div><div><br></div><div>2) If something was mapped that the African Highway Tagging[1] doesn't cover, but we might otherwise in the larger OSM map, what does a validator do? For example, highway=service. Does one "force fit" the mapped way into the African Tagging (e.g. perhaps highway=service becomes highway=residential), use what is generally accepted in OSM, or?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Mike</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa</a></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 7, 2016 at 5:28 PM, john whelan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jwhelan0112@gmail.com" target="_blank">jwhelan0112@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">MSF have been doing some very interesting projects recently, for example one is <a href="http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1669" target="_blank">http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1669</a> is just roads so if you fancy trying your hand at validation and have a copy of JOSM around try your hand.<br><br></div>Cheerio John</div><br></div>
