[talk-au] [EXTERNAL] Re: Low quality road classification contributions in SA via Microsoft Open Maps Team - contact point?

Mon Aug 30 07:09:11 UTC 2021

Hi all,

Thank you for reviving this topic again. I planned to do the same this week.

I would like to make a clear note that this issue is still on the top of our list to get fixed. For this reason, I'm responsive to this thread, so editors don't need to reply to each repetitive issue. I don't think that I have missed any of the messages or left them unanswered.

We are still on hold since the community is not united about the process of work.
The way I see this is only to remove roads that we added entirely. I don't think it would be beneficial for the map and the community, but if that bothers the community, we are willing to remove it if it is the only solution.

Once the community has a consensus about the tags that we have to use, we can jump in, and I will personally make sure that everything is processed entirely in accordance with your guideline.

I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Nemanja

At the risk of repeating what might have been said earlier, I'd suggest commenting on one or more of the problem changesets, explaining why "residential" (or whatever) isn't a good fit.

If the users concerned don't reply then we (the DWG) can try and draw their attention to the comments before they make future changes.

Best Regards,

Andy

Most of these outside of townships appear to be still very poorly classified, and last edited 2 months ago.

Has any correction been done whatsoever?

I am insanely jealous that you can go driving in the countryside.

Sorry to make you feel bad! :-(

 Thanks
