Languages

• Decide what language should be used for names on the map (Serbian or Albanian). This is a highly political decision, so I am not adding any names until some policy has been agreed upon.
• Hi I am user Hakerche and I think that Kosovo should be mapped in both languages. But it was part of Serbia until few days ago, so maybe it should still remain on Serbian language.
• Hi, I'm user Jkos. I think that street names will have to be in the local language. Given that they're mostly names, some are Albanian names, others are Serbian names, etc. City names should probably be in both languages as Serbian & Albanian are both official languages.
• Hello, I think that the street names should be in a bigger size in Albanian, and a smaller size in Serbian. Kosovo is now a Independent State and the language there is 95 % Albanian.

Upcoming Events

Takim për OpenStreetMap / OSM Meetup

Mbahet takimi i radhës për OpenStreetMap në Kosovë!

Çdokush i interesuar në OSM është i mirëpritur, nga fillestari absolut deri te hartgroafi më me përvojë. Mos hezitoni të vini edhe në qoftë se vetëm jeni kurioz për OpenStreetMap dhe kartografinë pjesëmarrrëse, të gjithë të interesuarit mund të sjellin një laptop dhe të tregojnë diçka, ose vetëm të dëgjojnë.

Pijet prej shpisë!

OSM Meetup

Let's meet at Prishtina Hackerspace for the next OpenStreetMap Kosovo meetup!

Anyone interested in OSM is welcome, from the absolute beginner to the most experienced mapper. Do not hesitate to come if you are just curious about OpenStreetMap and participatory cartography, so anyone interested can bring a laptop and present something.

Drinks on us!

Thursday, 20 December, at 17:00 At Prishtina Hackerspace

Goals

• Almost all street names are missing. Adding these requires local knowledge, as street signs are rare.

• (18.11.2018) Add the date before the entry like this: (dd.mm.yyyy) Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
• (18.11.2018) Add land use tags (farmland, industrial area, commercial area, forest, meadow, etc).
• (18.11.2018) Add water bodies (lakes, artificial lakes, swimming pools, ponds).
• (18.11.2018) Add names of city suburbs / neighborhoods.
• (18.11.2018) Add buildings (houses, schools, gov. buildings, etc).

Roads

I've started to make the main connecting roads between the towns "primary" roads. Few roads were being classified as primary, with the result being too many secondary roads, few tertiary roads and lots of unknown types.

List of places that have some mapped roads.
