[OSM-talk-be] Bruxelles centre : nouveau piétonnier

[Jo]

I think Matthieu already did the parts that apply to the streets themselves.

Adding the POIs should be a continuous effort. It's really hard to that
properly in a hurry.

Philippe's efforts to Mapillary the streets of Brussels can be a lot help
for it and the Mapillary plugin for JOSM is already functional enough for
it as well.

Philippe managed to cover a lot of ground, really impressive! My style of
making pictures is a bit different. I tend to stop and make close ups of
opening hours and other details I consider interesting enough to map
afterwards. But walking through the streets pointing a cell phone as a
camera already makes one receive a lot of strange looks when you simply go
forward and the way I do it, it's impossible to advance properly.

Also doing it that way does not produce a smooth viewing experience when
flicking through the picture sequences.

Anyway, compromises are always hard.

Maybe you can organise another mapping party? And this time we actually go
out into the streets. I'm not sure how to go about the surveying + data
entry in just a few hours. Maybe it would be better to organise a series of
mapping parties with 2 weeks inbetween each one. The first for surveying,
the next for entering the data or help out if they tried themselves and
encountered problems along the way.

Then another one surveying, this time around they know already what they
want to pay attention to.
