[OHM] New to OHM

[Albin Larsson]

Can this work be found online? Github? How do I get in contact with the
people working on it?

I can work remotely 7/02, but I think that's it.

>> Hello all OHM people!
>>
>> My name is Albin Larsson and I'm living in Nyköping Sweden where I
>> studies elite orienteering and technology. I found this project some months
>> ago but it was during my current winter holiday I did look into it for the
>> first time. I read through the mailing list and looked into the OSM site
>> fork.
>>
>> I have some experience on the iD code and a basic knowledge about the OSM
>> stack. I have some years of programming experience and looking into
>> learning Ruby on Rails. Is it possible to setup the existing OHM Rails site
>> without Nominatim/Mapnik/PostGIS/etc? Makes it easy for me that does not
>> have more of a dev machine then my Raspberry Pi and laptop...
>>
>> I did read that you was looking into making a time slider for the site.
>> Doing this with the Mapnik generated tiles sounds like a bad idea as the
>> tiles are static? The feature could be implemented in the iD editor by
>> extending feature filtering(#2357
>> <https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/2357>) to make it more easy
>> to maintain we could take a look a plugin interface(#1392
>> <https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/1392>) for iD. The main
>> issue is the time format, not only do we need to deal with different
>> calenders but also time zones. One solution would be to always add a
>> default tag with a specific time zone/calender format based/converted from
>> what format the user inputed. Then use this value for the slider and other
>> features. This would of course require a tagging scheme.
>>
>>
>> Looking into how the current tagging is done I must as somethings.
>>
>> If a building was a hotel(example) prior to a specific date and after
>> that date is a residential building, how would I tag it?
>>
>> If a building is moved to another location, how would I tag it?
>>
>> Tagging of historic events such as a battle?
>>
>> If the exact date of object such as a stone age settlement is unknown,
>> how would I tag it?
>>
>> If I start using custom tags because there is no specified should I add
>> them to OHM/Tags in the wiki so they could be discussed/used by other users?
>>
>> Is the Historical Sources wiki page
>> <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Historical_Sources> made for OHM? I
>> know tons of datasets that's under public domain. For example
>> K-Samsök(SOCH) by the Swedish National Heritage Board has about 1.6 million
>> objects with coordinates, I think about 50% of the objects would be
>> suitable for OHM and much of the data is available as public domain(I had a
>> internship at the Swedish National Heritage Board some years ago).
>>
>> I'm hoping that I will be able to contribute in different ways to this
>> project.
