Diff Reports
It would be useful to have a key to assist in interpreting these large image files showing user activity. --Ceyockey 21:46, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
Places
It would be useful to define boundaries of the important to map areas and corridores. show them in the osm-matrix. --Jan Tappenbeck 14:29, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
- are in the define areas like [1] every street in residental-areas request ??? --Jan Tappenbeck 11:27, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
Specific Tags
Did anybody create a special JOSM-Present for earthquake-tags ??

large open spaces to serve as relief operation areas
are large open spaces currently mapped? if yes: how? is there an explicit need for that? --Marc 06:52, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
Layer
when you look to the error-reports (C06) you see that many errors base on missing layer=-1 at waterway=*. i will diskus a generell waterway=-1 to Project Haiti!
- -1
- They are many highway=ford on rivers that are unpraticable on big rain. Using a layer=-1 will push to avoid mapping the crossing between a stream or river and a highway=* --FrViPofm 10:27, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
Highway designations
In OSMdoc, the following values are listed for haiti:type=*:
- Autre Route
- Nationale
- Communale
- None
- Departmentale
Is there a convention for matching these values to primary/secondary/tertiary values for highway=*? If yes, then I would suggest adding Haiti to the countries table at Key:highway. If not, how do people feel about the following?
- Autre Route → tertiary
- Nationale → primary
- Communale → tertiary
- Departmentale → secondary
--Ceyockey 17:31, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- It looks good. But the frequency seems strange : Nationale : 38, Departementale: 27, communale: 37. It draws a very strange network ! Does it meen really something ?

- The state of disrepair of the Haitian transportation network makes association between an OSM type representing a road feature set with a named Haitian road class unfortunately problematic. --Ceyockey 23:46, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- These haiti:* tags are data from the source of the original import. The values were mapped to the appropriate OSM keys at the time of import in 2009 (pre-earthquake) and were sourced from Haitian Government data. I would therefore suggest that no further action be taken SK53 00:37, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- Could we have a record of the "values were mapped to the appropriate OSM keys" please? For instance, in the countries table at Key:highway? Thanks for considering this. --Ceyockey 12:43, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
