UK Quarterly Project
The OSM UK Quarterly Projects is a series of 3 month projects for United Kingdom mappers. Subjects are voted upon via the OSM UK Loomio platform and announced on the talk-gb mailing list.
Each project pushes the UK map forwards in quality and coverage. It provides a short-term focus for activity.
Near the end of each quarter a number of UK quarterly project ideas are thrown into the ring. It may not have been their time, or they need to be worked up further, or they may trigger further thoughts. A 'good' project involves: discussions on how to best tag (from prior experience and learning during the project); a simple, approachable task with tooling to assist; monitoring and reporting of progress; scope for individuals to do their own thing; creation of Open Source software; generation of United Kingdom Tagging Guidelines; wider coverage of OSM and OSMUK.
Note that we will decide on the subject of the Project before the quarter begins.
