[OSM-talk-be] Survey-article / Belgian OSM website

Mon Apr 24 16:42:34 UTC 2017

I am confused. In your first reaction you seem to indicate that my survey
article is too technical for the website and that it should go in a diary.
I was hoping that such type of articles could be posted on osm.be as well.
That is why I made the suggestion of a separate section with more technical
articles. Now you suggest it is ok to put them inder blogs?

As for the what to map idea. While a summary belongs under projects, a full
article should mention how you find the items during a survey, how to map
them or where you can see them on a map. Do you think that part does not
belong in a blog post on osm.be, but in a diary?
