[OHM] OHM Tasking Manager on OHM Servers

Hi folks –

Hope you are all doing well. Thanks for the enthusiastic response to this thread earlier this month. I wanted to follow up with the community on a TM for OHM.

The Wikimedia Warper that Tim Waters and others are working on has an integration with OHM and will enable batch uploading, which is excellent. This project will require georeferencing 175 maps just for the New York metropolitan area – so, streamlining that process is much appreciated.

However, this project is a bit too large – with too many moving parts – to manage in a warper environment alone. Once the maps are warped, I would like to pull them into a TM linked to OHM.

Albin Larsson put together a TM that was linked to OHM – and it sounded like folks were interested in installing it on the OHM servers:

Code:https://github.com/Abbe98/osm-tasking-manager2/tree/RPA-wetlands
Instructions: https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager2/blob/master/README.md
Python requirements: https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager2/blob/master/setup.py

Would it be feasible to get this running on OHM servers before the year is out? I would love to make some progress on this and be ready to launch the project to the larger student and mapper community in early January.

Thanks to all of you who have engaged on this. Let me know what you think.

Best,
Sanjay

Hey everyone,
This is awesome the way this project is coming together. I'm happy to help test the workflow, once we get everything in place. As part of the TeachOSM project, I'll be reaching out to educators to promote the project as a means for geography teachers to incorporate open mapping into their lessons. I think there will be more projects once we have the TM in place and we can train teachers/instructors to use the TM to set up their own OHM-based lessons.

Cheers,

There are two types of people in the world. Those that can extrapolate from incomplete data.

Albin,

I'm so sorry I completely missed the other thread!

This looks great! Are you around to chat at any point this week? Would love to catch up on the stuff you've been working on and if there's anywhere useful for me to contribute.

It seems like this should be relatively straightforward to setup on the server? We're running a tasking manager instance for India - http://tasks.openstreetmap.in/ - I'm guessing the setup should be pretty similar..

Would love to see if there's some elegant way to not hard-code these strings everywhere and just have something like OPENSTREETMAP_URL come from a settings file and then just use that everywhere instead of having to change openstreetmap.org<http://openstreetmap.org> to openhistoricalmap.org<http://openhistoricalmap.org> in all these places :( - anyways, this should also be totally fine for now.

Would be really great to sync up with you, Albin, and see if there's dev stuff I can take on - I apologize for being a silent lurker here for so very long - I feel able to take on a bit of stuff now, will be great to see how we can take this ship forward :-)

Cheers!
-Sanjay

Sanjay Bhangar,  I have already created a OHM instance and published the source code on Github, see the link in pervious emails.

i'm happy to assist with setup. but i am short of time right now and
i think we can take our time.

i also think we want a separate url (tm.openhistoricalmap.org<http://tm.openhistoricalmap.org>?) and i
haven't messed with the DNS setup on the server before, and will
probably defer to another member of the team on that.
