[OSM-talk-be] OSM updates by cyclists

[joost schouppe]

You could definitely do this with mapcontrib. In fact, one of the examples
I mentioned on this list, is with the idea to help people add surface tags
to roads:

https://www.mapcontrib.xyz/t/743004

In this example you can see how the presets work:

https://www.mapcontrib.xyz/t/27b3df-Car_sharing_locations

(you need to connect your osm account using the smiley face to be able to
edit)

So you could feasibly create an instance where you define presets for the
most common situations (i.e. one way for cars but not for bicycles, one way
for both; maybe even add some cyclepath definitions too). One technical
thing I don't know is if you can make mapcontrib aware of the direction of
the way.

As for the splitting: yes, that is necessary in our data model. I actually
quite like it that way. But it works best when the basics (i.e. maxspeed,
oneway) are mapped before the more detailed stuff. All the more reason to
start adding that info ASAP.

As for manuals: I found this to be quite useful

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MapContrib#Building_a_theme

I actually only started to understand the possibilities while playing
around with it.

Ooh, and I would also like to suggest we create an OSMbe OSM-account, so we
can share management of these versions, as there is still no way to share
admin rights to a map.
