[OSM-talk] Action!

Hi,

I provide some error reports for OSM and wanted the errors to be corrected. Of course I could handle some of them on my own. But since there were 10s of thouands I surely wouldn't be able to inspect and correct them all.

So I thought why not set up a joint action of some sort? And so I did - not knowing whether I would get help or not. But amazingly we had so many volunteers who picked working packages that in a few days hundreds of erros could be corrected. And since the edits were supposedly made with JOSM using the validator plugin many other errors (beside the initially listed ones) were corrected as well.

In the first action 1000 errors were closed in 5 days. The third action (1000 dupe ways) I suppose will make it in under 24h! That's crazy!!!

So far we handled unconnected residentials in Bayern/Germany and dupe ways also in Germany. For details please have a look at

- http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Aktionen
- http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Aktion_01
- http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Aktionen/Aktion_03

Of course the pages are in German but look at the work tables and maybe the error lists.

Maybe others could set up actions like these for other countries? I assure you to provide reports if needed and I am quite confident that a lot of our helpers would support these actions from here - if we get to know about the actions...

Cheers
