From the talk mailing list (mandatory disclosure: yes I know the
authors).<br>

-------- Original-Nachricht --------<br>
<br>
<div dir="ltr">Hi there,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm very proud to announce that finally Kort[1] (the OSM
game) writes back it's collected solutions to OSM! All changes
are made by the OSM user "kort-to-osm"[2], so it's easy to
track them.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our actions were coordinated with the local (Swiss)
community and the Data Working Group (DWG). According to the
"Mechanical Edit Policy"[3] all changesets have the tag
mechanical=yes and the users profile page contains all
relevant information about the project. With all the extra
information in the changeset comment, we are able to trace
back an edit through Kort and even further to its source. By
the way, for most missions KeepRight[4] is the source.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Until now we made over 280 changes. All changes were
validated by at least 3 users. There are still lots of solved
missions that are just waiting to be validated, so that we are
able to finally provides them to OSM.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The source code for kort-to-osm is available on GitHub[5],
you are very welcome to open issues or provide pull requests.
The underlying python library to access the OpenStreetMap API
is osmapi[6].</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>***Apart from this big step, Kort itself has some new
features:***</div>
<div>- Upgrade to Sencha Touch 2.3 -> now all major browsers
are supported (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari)</div>
<div>- Thanks to our new database server, we can provide
missions in the USA as well (no more limits!)</div>
<div>- Our homepage <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://kort.ch">kort.ch</a> is available in English,
too :)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any remarks, comments, issues etc. are very welcome!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards Stefan</div>
