Map design section outdated #520

Closed maning closed 7 years ago

maning commented 7 years ago

Along with Tilemill, this section should be updated. A lot of the content is outdated and not supported anymore for example Drupal.

Specifically, the Mapbox section in Map Design is really old — the workflow and pricing have changed.

As an temporary fix, would it help to point to the Mapbox Studio Manual that introduces Studio stack as well as has a few tutorials. I know that this will not have translated versions available, but wondering if it makes sense to get started by linking to this section and later drafting a new guide to Mapbox Studio.

Thoughts? @Nick-Tallguy @d3netxer (tagging those who I saw active recently, feel free to tag anyone else)

Hi,

Thanks for the update. I'll try to work on it this evening and send a link to a version for review.

If there's any delay it will be Internet problems on the campsite I'm currently on.

Please let us know if there are any more out of date bits. Our little team are not experts on everything and help / advice are welcome.

Once we're happy with a revision I'll put it on the main site and then up for translation.

Nick (OSM=Tallguy) my phone is responsible for any spelling mistakes!

As my Internet connection is proving unreliable, I've gone ahead and updated both the staging site and the main LearnOSM site while I could. All affected languages should be okay now. At the moment the affected modules have all of the text hidden except for a sentence explaining that the content was out of date and a link to Mapbox with a mention of training materials there.

Please also see http://erikakristie.github.io/learnosm/ja/map-design/mapbox/ which I'm seeing in the stats. Japanese visitors are using it.

Nick-Tallguy commented 7 years ago

I propose to remove this entire chapter.

For info of Mapbox - Japanese visitors are hitting the remaining 'stub' and there are other versions of the site they are also visiting.

Nick-Tallguy commented 7 years ago

Missed Japanese!
