[OSM-talk] talk Digest, Vol 187, Issue 56

[sharehealthdata share]

Dear OSM Moderators

Thank you for raising the issue with data loss caused by edits through
Healthsites.io. Our project is an important focal point for people looking
to create, edit, visualise and extract data health facility data from OSM -
especially in this trying time with COVID-19. We have fixed the underlying
issues and also corrected any data issues that arose because of this
issue.  Our team is on standby and will move to rapidly resolve any
problems surfaced by the OSM community
.
A detailed list of data fixes we have done is available here:
https://github.com/healthsites/healthsites/issues/1357#issuecomment-602165455

Thank you everyone,
Keep Safe
Regards

The Healthsites.io Team
ᐧ
