Ranking list. Position of Nepal

Communities Nepal
1

This page: https://osmstats.neis-one.org/?item=countries&country=Nepal shows ranking position of Nepal worldwide. Today it is nr 1 worldwide, the same yesterday and two days before. 6,5 and 4 days before it was position 3.

When we all work hard, we can keep probably one of 10 first position for longer time.
So, please, don´t stop mapping, even if the flood area is finally mapped. Some disasters can always happen even in other parts of Nepal.

http://www.mopit.gov.np/# is already using OSM. Great success of you all.

Today nr 1. in created nodes. The number of mapper is smaller but they do a lot of work.

**Today, 26.08.2017 Nepal is again nr. 1 worldwide in created nodes! **

1 Nepal 234356
2 Indonesia 150503
3 United States 124170

No one coutry with such mapping speed!
I’m especially proud, because nr 9 in mapping ranking in Nepal is one girl!
Nisha Adhikari!
And the first Nepali in ranking list is with nr. 4 … Pratixa.
Also a woman (I’m writing it for fereigners, they don’t know nepali names).
**
Under first 10 mappers last 3 months are: two nepali girls and two nepali boys.** That’s really amazing.

Imagine: worldwide only 3% of girls are doing mapping. I don’t know an other country around whole world with such results like in Nepal. I feel really proud about you!

Some updates. Yestrday Nepal was Nr. 3 worldwide regarding mapped elements, today again Nr.1. So, please stay fighting, do mapping. :slight_smile:
I wish to say thank you for two mappers they do nowadays a lot for Nepal:

and

Very, very fast going up in the ranking list is user http://hdyc.neis-one.org/?W%C5%82adys%C5%82aw%20Komorek
I assume, he will be in some days mapper nr 1 in ranking list.
In total leading is still our great friend Heinz_V.

For me personally, Nepal is since 26.08.2017 nr. 1 country regarding number of mapper elements. Nr. 2 is Poland nr. 3 Germany.

I have ‘noticed’ that Heinz_V , a waterway as stream, and a highway (there in Nepal) as residential tagged … wouldn’t it be better (there in Nepal) to tag (not all, but the most of those) as highway = 'unclassified, and waterway = ‘river’ ?

Please write him about this problem directly showing the elements you mentioned. He is answering very quickly.

I mailed him this topic, and got an answer ;

I mailed him back ;

Dear friends, I would allow me th have an opinion in between:
Regardng waterways:
If there is such widely accepted regulation, so please try to adapt it in cases they are obvious.
This could be difficult without local knowledge but probably possible.
Generally tagging is, I assume, less relevant than the fact of collecting geometry. Retgging is esy done.
I´m confrontated with doubts regaring properly tagging every day I do mapping in Nepal.

Regarding residential streets. Due to the fact, that 90% of Nepal don´t have house numbers, we should, given that we are hearing what JOSM says, completely stom using of cathegory highway=residential. The programmers, they wrote JOSM never have been in Nepal or other similar countries, so I woul sty with mapping of cathegory residential when around are houses.

There is also an other important reon for using residential: Nepa dont´t have speed signs only seldom. Therefore is changing of street cathegory the only possible solution to give warning to the driver in navigation system.

I would like to point out at the ways to one or two buildings.
I would recommend tagging them as “highway=service” not “highway=residential”.
See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dservice

10

Tagging of highway=service in villages or small cities please also with service=alley.
This is common in small areas and often used in other countries in Asia.
This tagging is used in Asia everywhere when the width of the way doesn´t allow to drive through with one car.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:service%3Dalley
This page is talking about (european) settlements only, because nobody from Asia was active in enhancing wiki. This should be done, so please add your comments there: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:service%3Dalley
The reasen is easy:
Such small ways are not https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dliving_street (here add an example from Nepal as well my dear friends, make just one picture from Kathmandu, we need it!) nor https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dresidential

BTW.: Today Nepal is again Nr. 1 in number of added elements worldwide.

11

Here is picture of alley in Kathmandu →

and here is definition of alley in wikipedia →
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alley

there is also a word ‘back alley’ (but in some countries , it has a ‘negative meaning’ )

12

Today Nepal is nr. 2 after Brazil (probably heavy data import) but the difference between nr 2 and nr 3 wasn’t big.

Dear henke54. Good examples. Could you add examples with comment in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nepal/Roads

Thank you in advance! Marek

Hi Marek, i took those pictures from internet, and don’t know if they are permitted on wiki … :roll_eyes:

14

Ok, thanks henke54!
I assume our Nepali friends can make similar shots next days, we need some good examples.

15

Last two days Nepal is still nr 1 worldwide in created nodes!

:slight_smile:

16

Wow, our friend from Denmark piaco_dk is already de facto nr 2. in Nepal ranking list. (bdiscoe has his position because of lot deleted points, they are also “points” in the statistic).
Please be nr 1 piaco_dk.

Tanzania is sixth on the list, and they have here no sub-forum it seems → https://techlekh.com/openstreetmap-nepal/

I’m happy to tell you, Nepal has the new nr.1 in ranking list!
It is our friend Wladek Komorek.
Wladek is working many hours every day for Nepal only.
