This is a small city in Belgium. The fortifications are a Vauban Fortress; but most parts of those medieval fortifications are now nature reserve (and protected as heritage). Some parts are open water, others are swamps.
However, most of the north-eastern side of the fortress was mapped as "forest" or something generic. After visiting it, I started micromapping this bit by bit. Upon saving and refreshing, the underlying structure of the fortress was suddenly visible, which was a nice surprise!
Whelp, this is the beginners-question chat! This is already quite advanced what you are doing there!
You will find more information on the wiki page on sidewalks and the crossings page. However, there is no consensus on how to do it. Some map it as discrete way (but this is a lot of work, duplicates some data such as streetnames), others map it as tag on the road. Both approaches have advantages and drawbacks; for some real-life situations it makes sense to do it one way and it others the other makes a lot of sense. And there is a grey area where neither approach is a good fit...
Not to mention that this is done differently in some countries due to OSM-tradition, different legal implications or forms of the sidewalk... So, good luck with this journey!
This is not possible with StreetComplete. It is also not the goal of streetcomplete to be able to do anything. It is aimed to gather very common data. As a sibling comment noted, use the web editor for this.
That really depends on the situation.
Some possible approaches:
Sorry, you lost this bet. It's not mastodon they copied, but Instagram: https://www.emergetools.com/deep-dives/threads
BTW: @Ben_on_Lemmy has revived their account!
Allright! Thanks for making me a mod!
Time to get some more moderators aboard, so that I can leave for holidays XD
Yes, it is a grant from NLNet: https://nlnet.nl/ - a small charity which basically redistributes EU-funds, but as they know the FLOSS-community very well, they can allocate money very efficiently.
I'm on such a grant too for my OpenStreetMap-editor
Thx, didn't know those got to go there. I've made a post.
You can also give https://mapcomplete.osm.be a shot. It is built to allow everyone to update or add POI.
Well, that is impressive! Personally, I only map sidewalks separately if they are clearly separated by a decent amount (>1m) over a longer stretch of pavement
