Introduction
You may saw some of my changesets with the hashtag #ottwiz-mapping-50-states. What is this about? On June 4, 2021, I wrote the following in #general on OSMUS Slack: "So, it just popped out of my head, that it's summer, and I've got plenty of time to kill, since i finished my first year in university, then why shouldn't I map bits of all of the 50 states in the US (mostly forests, if there is, if not, then farmlands)?" That's where I got started.
So, what am I actually planning to do? Map the 50 states in the US. Before you ask me, I'm not going to include DC and Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the US Virgin Islands, and the US Minor Outlying Islands (aka the US territories).
What things am I going to map? Mostly wooded areas(so forests), and sometimes roads but that is going to be rare in this project.
How am I planning to realize this? I started from Washington, and by zig-zagish shape I'm going to map the lower 48, and after that Hawaii and Alaska comes.
The good thing is, that i already got some requests from mappers throughout the US to map their areas, so by this, I can accomplish that. By mapping areas it means i'm planning to do a few changesets, the number of changes doesn't count, since it happened that in a changeset made more than 18k changes.
Completion date: August 3, 2021.
Progress
So, for reference, there are some screenshots of what I did.
