Editting on a smartphone

Hi,

I think you are talking about the ‘iD’ editor.

I found two ways to stop drawing lines :

*Pressing escape on the keyboard * Double-clicking on the screen or mouse

I would also suggest trying Vespucci (android) or Go Map! (iOS), which are both designed for smartphone editing first.

I hope that helps you :)

The 2021 OSMF Survey of the OSM community has been activated

That’s convenient to allow only agreement to be shared, and to label disagreement labeled as trolling. I’ll answer anyway, those who want to label this as trolling may do so.

In other words, pre-publishing the survey is not an accepted practice.

And yet :

@cquest I’ve added that link, thanks.

So I think asking for review would have been beneficial, but I’m far from an expert on surveying.

Bashing me publicly in my diary constitutes trolling, period

You’re right, that diary is published with your name attached. But as it’s one of the first public communication of this release, I think it’s unfair to call it a “personal diary” and forbid contributors to comment on it. Maybe next time such releases could be posted first to a “neutral” platforms such as recommended by @RicoElectrico. That will solve some of the issues raised here.

Answering publicly help deduplicate comments. Asking every contributor noticing an issue to send a private email sound pretty inefficient comparing to posting in a public medium, and may not help the recipient to not feel attacked. I think receiving and answering 5, 10, 20 messages regarding the same issue would be tiresome/aggravating.

Originally the (constructive) criticism was targeted on the survey and related communications, not you. Only after passive-aggressive attacks like calling people “unsophisticated” and “trolls” it had shifted onto you personnaly and became out-of-line.

I think that “publicly calling people out” (again, you were originally not targeted) becomes necessary on global-reaching endeavour such as this survey and voices asking to include the community are ignored, as I shared in my previous comment. What other avenue do you suggest? Staying silent? I think we should listen to each other in order to move forward.

My would-be answers to the OSMF board survey

Really thoughtful and complete analysis, thank you imagico !

The 2021 OSMF Survey of the OSM community has been activated

Yeah I agree, calling disagreeing voices “trolls” is inflammatory and unneeded.

Some people asked in osm-talk to share the survey draft before sharing the definitive version. maybe those issues regarding privacy could have been spotted earlier, and these comments avoided ? I think it should be considered for future surveys.

Anyway, even with those issues, thank you for organizing such a survey, that amount to a lot of work !

I'm leaving OpenStreetMap. Drawing detailed building outlines by hand has therefore now become obsolete in my perception.

Sad to see you go…

Take care !

Silos à verre Grand Lyon

Merci pour cette analyse !

J’ai fait une passe sur Lyon il y a quelques temps pour corriger recycling:glass en recycling:glass_bottles, il y a aussi une quête StreetComplete là-dessus, mais oui ça continue cette problématique. J’essaierais de les corriger de nouveau.

Sorry / Bad choice of words

While I don’t like pointing one individual in particular, that was also my (to be fair not very researched) sentiment @westnordost.

What has been said to and about Frederik was a very large overreaction and looked like a power grab under sexist and racist pretense.

Thoughts on the "Call to Take Action and Confront Systemic Offensive Behavior in the OSM Community"

Hi Nicolas, thank you for this thorough analysis and commentary of the situation !

I agree wholheartedly with all the points you raised.
