<p>I am planning to develop an mobile app to optimize ski area data provided by OSM. The user should be able to use the app for locating him- or herself in a ski area and have a look at all the different slopes and lifts and all their details.</p></div></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>See StreetComplete - <a href="https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe parts can be done also as SC quests. It is also likely that some libraries made by</p><p>Westnordost will be useful for you.<br /></p><p><br /></p><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div class="WordSection1"><p>What would you recommend regarding authentication? Is it ok if users of my app are committing data on my behalf or should all users have their own OSM account?</p></div></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>Do you want to be directly responsible for all edits made by users (not only indirectly <br /></p><p>responsible as the editor author)?<br /></p><p> </p><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div class="WordSection1">
<p>If users have their own account, is it possible and ok if I prepare the data with my algorithm and commit the data on their behalf?</p></div></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>Yes, see StreetComplete. Note that in this case you are fully responsible for all mistakes</p><p>made by the algorithm (there were already bugs in StreetComplete that resulted in review</p><p>of all possibly affected changesets).<br /></p><p> </p><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div class="WordSection1">
<p>In general, what is your recommendation regarding this kind of third-party integration?</p></div></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>See StreetComplete, it works well and code is likely to be reusable (assuming</p><p>that you accept the license).<br /></p><br /><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div class="WordSection1">What do you think of my idea?
</div></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>I would strongly suggest to start from looking at what can be implemented as a StreetComplete</p><p>quests - there is already some pool of people using this editor and it may be better to start from</p><p>the simplest possible task. Making a new editor is a huge effort.</p> </body>
