These are a set of improvements to Kobo which would enable wider use for data collection in OpenStreetMap. These suggestions come from my technical advising to Map Kibera, who do community mapping in OpenStreetMap for informal settlements in Nairobi, as well as data collection and training across Kenya. Skip logic is used to only present questions relevant to the feature type. A little more complicated are cases when a single question in a form may correspond to different Tag key, depending on the answer given. And in some cases in the case of dams , to represent a feature requires setting OSM tags. To address this in Kobo, I think would take adding settings for each value. This could be a simple check box adjacent to the value field which if clicked would treat the value as a Tag or multiple tags. Solution could be an additional question setting that sets an OSM Tag key for the question, different from the data column name. Since these are not tabular data formats, submissions that have a blank answer can and should be omitted. Also since this might include either point or linear geographic features, need to ensure the output is formatted correctly. What would also help is the ability to break up the export into multiple files by the answer to a question, or metadata like username. This would enable each data collector to separately upload their edits to OSM.

Currently, the tagging mailing list and OpenStreetMap wiki fill an important formal role in the process of discussing and voting of proposals. A new forum [2] , based on Discourse, has been created which offers many new possibilities. In particular for tagging proposals. These proposals often affect the entire community. The current proposal process requires proposal announcements to be made on the tagging mailing list. The community forum, intended to be a central community place, is therefore a better place for these announcements. The main result will be in increased engagement by the community because the barrier to participate or create proposals is reduced.

One quick way to improve the navigation would be to put a global site navigation block at the top of the main wiki page. Navigation menu Personal tools English Create account Log in.
