Hi,
as I don't read any discussions about where and what to map, I would
like to bring up this essential question again.
Just a few possible ideas (that can be also mixed):
- adding new details (as buildings, landuse, ...)
- fixing TIGER (alignment, classification, ...)
- focus on the coast areas only (big cities)
- focus on the countryside (where no one has been before)
- focus on n states (and making there a huge step)
- ...
cya,
Matthias

Tiger cleanup is huge in my mind, road alignment is something that can be nicely fixed w/ Satellite imagery.
I'm sure you've seen Martijn's writeup:
http://oegeo.wordpress.com/2012/10/21/binders-full-of-tiger-deserts/And some links that have been thrown out in the comment thread to that article:

Hi,
I think it would be good if we can put together a (wiki) page with
resources for armchair TIGER mappers.
Take a TIGER ghost town (I will commit to making a list of those) like
this one here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=39.52791&lon=-111.58147&zoom=16&layers=Mand think: what could anyone do to improve the situation here?
* Straightening roads
* Adding traffic signals if there are any [1]
* Positioning GNIS imported POIs
* Adding building outlines for important buildings (most every town
has a school, a church or two)
* Look around the town for weird TIGER ways that don't align with
satellite imagery (usually tracks / unpaved) - reclass and align
There has to be more. Suggestions?
Who can put this together and link to it from the Operation Cowboy page? [2]

Instead of writing things multiple times in multiple places on the wiki (with some pages up to date, others not) I just linked to the TIGER Fixup page on the OPC wiki page. The TIGER fixup page was relatively outdated, imho, but I began to address some of the suggestions (For OPC) that have been expressed in this discussion.
regards, will (skorasaurus)

Sounds good to me! That page could use a refresh for sure.

Is there any way to tie this event into growing the local community or
assisting a local community that _wants_ some distant armchair
support? How about:
- call a friend in Distant Town and have them agree to survey Main
Street after you fix TIGER and add the buildings from imagery.
- have a local user request assistance for Adjacent County TIGER
fixup, in exchange for surveying names for new subdivisions in
Adjacent County
- have new mappers request a mapping coach to join them online allow
the new mapper to learn with an interested coach helping out on voice,
IRC, email, whatever...
Just doing armchair mapping has the chance to create a positive
result, but using the armchair mapping event to grow local communities
where they don't yet exist would be a greater good.

User:lyx started a real great guide in German, focusing on the most
troubles with imports and what differs in the US:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Operation_cowboy/TIGEROne question ist still, if we should remove the tiger:reviewed flag, if
it seems ok in BING, of if we should keep it, till somebody does a on
the ground survey?
Somebody started alread adding target areas:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Operation_Cowboy#State_cakeMay you can please add some more, that need to be fixed/enriched with
details? Think about that you are the only ones with information about
the area and there is a bunch of hungry mappers out there ;)
Matthias

Sounds really good to me, but I have no idea how to organise this. I bet
it will be easier, if US folks join the IRC and add a prefix as "US" to
their nickname, so it will be easy to ask US specific questions.
bye,
Matthias
