[HOT] Mapping in Ecuador - validation

Sun Apr 24 18:26:32 UTC 2016

Of course! However, sometime in the last 24 hours we passed the 2 million map changes point – and 1800+ mappers, and giving individual feedback is one grand challenge – getting that data in a ‘very useful’ state is another.

I’ll just quickly plug that the name of our Validation Activator role course is “HOT Validation: Fixing the data and Mappers <http://courses.hotosm.org/course/view.php?id=11> ”

Also, we’ve been at it over a week now; make sure to take breaks and if you need ‘back-up’, let us know.

John, 

I feel you are right with your point to coaching mappers, a way to do this is through comments in the task.  For lucky or common practice, must of Mapathons has been carry out with students.   I will share with Telegram chats about this idea to do the following. 

Principal validations focus is on the ways and his state. 

Thanks,

I think whilst mass validation can be appropiate sometimes such as in Ecuador at the moment I think what we lose from it is immediate feedback to an individual mapper which I think means less clean up to do afterwards.

Hi Russell,

Megha and couple of others from KLL are already in Trello. They will be happy to contribute on validation.

Hi Blake and John,

I'll add to Humberto, we'll have a few staff in the HOT Indonesia office (tonight/their morning).  We also have a standing offer from KLL to have some staffers focus on validation. These are great ideas, I don't want to lose them, so can we get them onto the Trello? Then once we've identified who, we can assign whats...

Hi John,

Given that we are spending a lot of times on roads, getting road
networks correct is pretty vital.

Has anyone looked at using existing OSM tools, outside of the Tasking
Manager to do large scale road network validation?

The one that comes to mind is GeoFabrik's OSM Inspector:

http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/

Which even has a 'routing' selection in the pop down to focus on
problems that affect routing.

Are there other tools that would help with this?

Could we map roulette getting roads that end near each other connected properly?

Cheers,
Blake
