[OSM-talk-be] osm - arlon - training course / evangelism

[Lionel Giard]

Hi Pierre,

I saw a influx of new mappers (via the welcome page) around Arlon following
your formation i suppose, and i detected a few mistakes that were common :
- uploading polygons without tags (i suppose the JOSM validator was either
not activated or just ignored on purpose ?!);
- a few miss-click with node without tags or node/lines moved from their
original position (again most  of them should be detected by the validator).

I don't know if you had time to do what you planned, but i would recommend
insisting on the validator part !
Globally, the geometries are correct, the main problem is really just to
not forget tagging them. ;-)

I also saw that some of them added housenumber without any other tag on the
buildings, don't forget to tell them that an address is at least "number,
street (and postal_code if it doesn't exist in a polygon)". ^^

Regards,
