Community index for Switzerland

I was looking through the community index, and noticed you were self-hosting your own mailing list?

However, it currently gives a bad gateway error. Is it still operational, or is the url wrong?

If it’s still up, I’d assume it’s best to put this community forum in the #1 spot as it’s quite active?

The Twitter account has no posts, I assume that should go as well, as it’s been replaced by Mastodon? edit: I see there are posts up until December 2024 if I log in

SwissOSM is still actively tagged on X and I think that helps the algorithm to connect the openstreetmap community. I really would not delete it. Same time the (pro|anti) Musk syndrome seems to be slowly fading out. X is the most popular news app in most countries according to the app store charts.

No, the OpenStreetMap community index of Switzerland is curated here: osm-community-index/resources/europe/switzerland at main · osmlab/osm-community-index · GitHub, there’s no ‘algorithm’ behind.

I suspect the point is even if the account is dormant, it can still serve as a way to find SOSM via the profile page. Which in turn is probably a good thing.

Sorry, I mistakenly thought the Twitter account was dormant, as Twitter requires you to log in to view the latest messages…

The community index already points to osm.ch and sosm.ch, so it would not be necessary to link a dormant Twitter account to discover those :slight_smile:

There’s now a PR to change the url of the mailing list, but it’s still error 502. I’ll move the community forum to spot 1 in the index

I made that PR to point to the recently updated URL of the mailing list archive.
I also sent an email to the address given in the impressum of https://openstreetmap.ch/, and then to the one given in the error message I got back on my first email…
