My biggest wish is that there’s an easy way to contribute images to wikimedia and to link them easily with osm. As soon as that’s possible, we’ll map the world much quicker and more reliable. Someone might take pictures of benches and another one will add the info if there’s a backrest from home.
What about https://mapcomplete.org/benches ? Granted, it does not upload to Wikimedia commons - but then again, Wikimedia commons isn’t the right place for thousands of (mediocre) pictures of mor or less identical benches. A picture there should be “qualitative” and either “educational” or “relevant”.
I guess the main problem is that it’s not accessible to the broad osm-public. I can map my area perfectly but I can’t go to other places. It needs to be accessible and easy to use.
What do you mean with “it’s not accessible to the broad public”? The pictures get linked properly with an ‘image’-tag, so it shows up in e.g. OsmAnd.
Yes, but the upload process is not accessible. It has to be accessible, otherwise everything I do is just a drop into the ocean
With mapcomplete, it is literally clicking ‘upload image’, taking a picture and waiting for it to be uploaded?
