[OSM-talk-be] New mappers

[Marc Gemis]

I also got the impression that some tools might be part of a paid service.

As for the rss feed (from http://simon04.dev.openstreetmap.org/whodidit/ ).
I don't expect that you will see a lot of changeset if you limit the
bounding box to e.g. Mol. Until recently I only got 10-20 changesets every
2 days or so. The last few days the number is higher. Some article
somewhere ? on reddit perhaps ?

anyhow the number is still to low for an area with big cities as Antwerp
and Mechelen.

Is it a lot of work ? Not really, if you ignore the changeset from regular
contributors, you might end up of 1 or 2 changesets that need further
inspection. Again, this number is a bit higher the last few days.

Opening the changeset shows the map where the change was done. If it show a
large area, it is suspicious. But in most cases it's only a few nodes or
ways. Nodes with names "highspeed camera" are obviously something you can
react upon.

My impression is that most changes are
- adding some paths
- adding some POIs (shops, companies)
- some playgrounds, parkings

Don't look at the mapper name, because you cannot conclude anything from
that. I recently saw a mapper name that I would never choose, but the edits
were OK and the user is even on the mailing now.

hope this helps

regards
