[OSM-talk] Osmose's News since March

[Frédéric Rodrigo]

Hi,

The biggest step in this period is the coverage of new countries:
- Full Africa support
- Europe: a number of new small countries: Azores, Albania, Bosnia and 
Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary, Isle of Man, 
Kosovo, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, 
Moldova, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
- Europe: a new analyser server in the Netherlands, country divided in 
regions.
- Southeast Asia is a new server in Germany covering Thailand, Brunei, 
Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.
- Add countries in Asia: Sri Lanka, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan.
- Add Central American countries: Belize, Cuba.

Countries that are not supported by new servers were supported on 
OpenStreetMap-France or Iceland ones.
Now there is a Coverage Map on Osmose:

Meanwhile, new translations came Portuguese, Polish, Japanese and Hungarian.

On the back side engine, fewer bugs and more unit testing and improving 
mechanisms for testing. Also, added support for a variable number of 
objects involved in an error.

For data integration proposal analysers, redesign the code format to go 
to something more descriptive and structured, so less code, more 
configuration and convention. Improved data integration proposal 
analysers to add a "dynamic" support. It means manage a large number of 
different tags for the same OpenData set (typical French sports fields 
that have 180 different combinations of tags for the same dataset).

On the side of analysers them self, not so many news. This period was a 
time of maturation, improve the quality and "conquer the world".
- 2060/6 Improved Analysis "number twice in the street"
- 2060/10 addr: housenumber does not start with a number
- 2060/11 Multiple names for the same reference FANTOIR (France only)
- 2060/12 Tag "addr:city" not consistent with the city
- 2060/13 the object does not match the type FANTOIR (France only)
- 7090/3 Isolated barrier
- 8160/1 Unintegrated Paris Autolib ' (Paris only)
- 8170 Dynamic analyser for sports pitch integration (France only)
- 8190 Unintegrated French military Police (France only)
- 8040/71 Bus stop in Wallonia (Wallonia, Belgium only)
- 1150 Big optimization on "intersection between surfaces", save 
computation time on large countries.
- suppression of import of OpenStreetBugs

On the web interface, adding export to RSS, GPX and remote "everything 
to JOSM."

Finally, a bridge between Osmose and Maproulette was established. It 
allows send certain types of errors on the addictive interface of 
Maproulette. For now, a small number of test categories are sent. These 
are the categories that begin with "[world]" and "[France]."

For the near future we have plan to support all America except the two 
biggest countries. On large countries (in data) we still need your help 
to find new servers for Osmose backend analyser.
