Integrate osm-community-index? #276

Open mikelmaron opened 6 years ago

mikelmaron commented 6 years ago

https://github.com/osmlab/osm-community-index is a new project to create a spatial index of OSM community resources -- like Slack orgs, mailing lists, and meetups. It could be an interesting addition to the changeset info panel in OSMCha, so that for instance someone reviewing a changeset could easily find the local community if they have questions. That panel is already quite crowded with functionality, so if we do think this could be useful, would want to be careful about how to integrate even more information there.

This is awesome. Quick thoughts after reading this is I believe it will be a great add to how users can collaborate with the community.

One of the cons I can imagine on top my head is the information available all the time can be little bit distracting but it is also important to convey such information exist.

Is the idea to publish the osm-community-index as a map somewhere?

If yes, my proposal would be to add a link in the "Dicussions" tab of the changeset view or so that just says "Find Local Community" or so and links to that part of the world on the osm-community-index map?

👋 @batpad thanks for the feedback

Yes, discussions tab definitely makes the best area of context where it should be placed. Since this is a completely new idea, I would like to explore more alternatives.

@batpad It's a great idea to have a link to some osm-community-index service, it saves us from one additional API request and requires a little space on the interface.

thoughts @bhousel ?

I think it would be a great idea to make these resources available to reviewers in OSMCha.

A typical usecase might be where an OSMCha user is reviewing something that looks unusual, but wants to ping a local mapper about whether or not it's really an issue. The community index could be a way to reach out to someone for a more local perspective - "hey I saw this thing and it looks like vandalism / an import / bad data going on in your area, can someone take a look?"

No strong opinions on how it would work -- I'd defer to @rasagy on that.

I want to look at the mapbox tilequery API for hosting a service for osm-community-index. Talking with @bhousel about generating a single GeoJSON out of the osm-community-index to create a tileset with.
