Hi Bill / anyone interested to help in last minute fixing of Hispanola,<div><i>(adding to talk@osm in case there would happen to be anyone with interest and time to help)</i><br><br>Super glad to hear of you... Unfortunately I've wasted your to-be-contribution by a delayed response (having been swamped with other work).<div>
<br></div><div>If you still have time more or less now or at least today I would advice to:</div><div><b>Look through especially Santo Domingo's named roads </b>(created or named by non-agreers)<b>.</b></div><div><br>
</div><div>I'l advice with other cities you mentioned later.</div><div><br></div><div><b>What has been done already in the area?</b></div><div>* (especially) 42429 has done a tremendous job in cleaning (simplifying) the priorly quite over-noded road grid and adjusting the geometries by tuning the positions of most of the roads' nodes in Santo Domingo, which me, my team in Haiti, and a few other contributors have continued from</div>
<div><br></div><div>* I went through nearly all of Santo Domingo's area yesterday with a few JOSM filters, namely </div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">highway=* -name=* -modified -odbl=*</font> </div><div>which made it easy to check quickly the existence, classification (and other possible tags) for roads without names (that is easy to do for me who only knows a fraction of the road names there + was a very easy way to save a lot of roads fast => totaled a tad over 1200 bits of road = ways)</div>
<div><br></div><div>* I also started to go through the named roads (for what I know) that you can make easier to find by flipping the name key in the filter to</div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">highway=* name=* -modified -odbl=*</font>
</div><div>Realizing how freaking fast the bot is and not being sure of it will complete the rest of the Eastern hemisphere last night already</div><div><br></div><div>* I already deleted name tags of a few (main) roads (for which I don't know the names for) +added the odbl=clean tag to them of course, which is obviously the whole point of this exercise after all else is ok -- to make sure those roads wouldn't get nuked. .. Adding the name to a road, I've gathered, is significantly easier/smaller task / can be done by a less advanced person than remapping after probably at least somewhat messed geometries when the bot has run over.</div>
<div><br></div><div><b>SO:</b></div><div>I'd advice to continue going through the roads that have names, which is what I/we remote ppl w/out super-good (or any) local can't do.</div><div>- If you use JOSM then I'd recommend the filter above (and tick all the boxes to hide all objects that don't match the filter.</div>
<div>- If you use P2, then simply tick on the license status from your options if you haven't already and just go thorough all the red roads with name that you see and that don't yet have odbl=clean tag on them (which you can see in the Advanced mode) and add the odbl=clean tag as you see appropriate.</div>
<div>And as always (especially at this point): If you run into tags that you can't stand behind (oneway, paved, lanes, what not) that have been created by non-agreers, nuke 'em.</div><div><br></div><div>The bot status (with a global view that currently makes sense) is: </div>

<div>and with the "recent areas"</div><div><a href="http://grant.dev.openstreetmap.org/license-change/botprocessing.php">http://grant.dev.openstreetmap.org/license-change/botprocessing.php</a>
</div><div><br></div><div><b>As of now, we seem to have about 23 degrees longitude of bot processing time</b> -- mostly in empty ocean areas -- to fix things. That <b>might not be many hours.</b></div><div><br></div><div>
My very next step is to take an overview of other areas of DR, do as many quick fixes as possible (like other unnamed roads in urban areas + connecting bits of the road network + if I still find areas outside of SD for which I know road names for).</div>
<div>I'll report back with my findings of other areas to check for names -- in case you respond back and it seems that you (or some other) would magically have the time to fix all of SD and would yearn for more ;)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Let me know if there's anything more you need / if I was unclear on anything above. </div><div>Skype is good communication channel, as is IRC (#osm, #hot + I've created #osm-ht and #osm-do in OFTC for hispanola, where you can find me as jaakkoh or something alike). My GTalk/Jabber username is <a href="mailto:jaakko@helleranta.com">jaakko@helleranta.com</a> should you/someone want to reach through that.</div>

<p>Do you have a changeset or bounds where road names need verification in the DR? I can cover Santo Domingo, SF de Macoris and Nagua.</p>
