Thank you for your offer, Stefan. I appreciate your experience and opinion, but I'm not sure if a general spectrum of opinions will be of much help in this specific case. Apart from the fact that I don't particularly enjoy the feeling of my mapping around Lausanne being surveilled and micromanaged by Stéphane, it seems to me that Stéphane and I are motivated by fundamentally different visions. Stéphane seems to want to create a plan, I would like to create a map. Now I couldn't say of either one if it was "right" or "wrong", but while I would like to participate in the creation of a map, I don't care to participate in the creation of a plan.
For those of you who wonder about the difference between plan and map, the definition in the (German) Wikipedia (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karte_%28Kartografie%29) is as follows: "Von Karten spricht man immer dann, wenn ihr Maßstab zu einer Generalisierung zwingt. Lassen sich Phänomene der realen Welt nahezu ungeneralisiert und dann meist großmaßstäbig darstellen, so spricht man von Plänen (Lageplan, Bebauungsplan)." Or in my own words and in English: On a map you are working with a lower scale, so you have to generalize and stylize certain phenomena of the real world. On a plan you work with a higher scale and reproduce every little detail of an environment, very much like on a technical drawing.
I have heard that the principle of OSM was "map everything". But I believe that there needs to be more than just this one principle to ensure a healthy balance. I am motivated as much by the idea of completeness of the data as by the goal of simplicity, elegance and usability. For me, to find a building on a street or the entrance to a subway station on a place is good enough. I don't care to know about the exact location of every curbstone on the street. In fact, I don't want to know about it, because it distracts me and demands way to much attention to process all the unnecessary information. So when I am mapping, I am striving to find a balance between exactitude and stylisation. And while I am not mapping for a specific rendering style, my aim is to allow at least theoretically a simple and clean rendering of the data (and routing of course).
As I have already said, to my knowledge Stéphane has done extensive tracing of aerial images in the area around Lausanne, quite detailed inside the city, and more roughly (and certainly not up to the standard he tries to enforce upon my edits) in the area around. So if he wants to impose "his way" of mapping onto the whole area, as he has de facto done to this date, that's fine with me too. But then he'd better motivate some other mappers on the ground who are willing to follow his vision of creating a plan (in forests, parks and farmland) and provide all the paths and other details in and outside of Lausanne that he has missed so far.

In OSM a road is usually represented as a line, and if there is a forest on one side of the road and a meadow on the other, why not having the road as the border between two areas? If you want the road to receive a second dimension. you can always give it a width tag.
Your right that "adding place for roads" is probably not the best

Hello!

This is true of course. And it is also true that there are plenty of
forests, fields and residential areas that go ACROSS roads and tracks.
Many of them were traced by yourself, which is by the way a work of
yours that I do highly appreciate!
> I'm sorry but your cleanup don't represent the real and what you named the mess is the real. And OSM should represent the real
If you have such a strong urge to "represent the real", why don't you
start with all the areas that go ACROSS roads? You yourself have
painted plenty of areas ACROSS roads. That doesn't "represent the
real" either. So why don't you start there? Why do you have to
"correct" and meddle with my work? In my eyes the fields, grass,
meadows or forests underneath a way represent reality much better than
the white space that you create.
And let me tell you what you did:
* You removed forests, just because you couldn't see the trees on the
Bing map. Hint: the Bing photo was taken in winter or early spring,
that means the deciduous trees don't have leafs, which makes them hard
to see. This is why they can compare photos of summer and winter to
officially distinguish deciduous from coniferous forests.
* The space you added to roads, tracks and paths was much to wide.
There are paths so narrow that you can barely set on foot in front of
the other. What you mistook for paths, are fences along both sides the
path, but the paths and tracks themselves are very narrow (and
themselves in a kind of meadow between the fences)
* You traced highways from the Bing map without taking care of its
offset, so your roads were off a couple of meters. How is that about
"reality"?
So I suggest, if you want to make things "more real", then don't do so
based on what you think you see on a four year old satellite photo. Go
out, and look at how things look and feel in reality.
I DO NOT appreciate at all having you behind my back, correcting every
step I make, which you also did for some edits inside Lausanne. If you
prefer to have the Riponne look "your way" but based on old photos
that have nothing to do with today's reality, just say so. I'm so
sorry to tell you this, but what you are doing here looks and feels to
me like tight-ass nitpicking.
> From say before I revert changset 9162875...
If you insist in messing with my work, feel free to do so. In that
case I will simply stop contributing in the Lausanne area and you can
keep having fun with your satellite photos, which is something that
you are very good at. I have better things to do than to start an edit
war.
Have nice day!

If you want accuracy and perfection, there are plenty of areas and
things to improve, on which I haven't worked in the last three weeks.
And It doesn't look like you have a problem with communication
(anyway, you can write to me in French). Your words and actions speak
a very clear language. The way I see it, you have a problem with
control. I am aware that you have done a huge amount of tracing and
mapping in the Lausanne area, and I do respect it. You probably
consider the area as your baby, and you want to have it your way.
We have been stepping on each others feet from the day I started
mapping in OSM. It's hard to avoid it, since I live in Lausanne.
So for me it's quite simple: if you insist of having everything your
way, if you want to play "King of Lausanne", that's fine with me. You
have earned it. But in that case I'm out of here, because I don't want
to map here as "your underling".

You have an interesting definition of "collaboration".
If your principle of "space for roads" is so important to you, there
would be plenty of places, where you could apply it first.
If you insist in having things the way you want them in an area, whose
landcover, tracks, roads and paths are currently traced and mapped by
another mapper, I don't call this "collaboration", I call it
"dictatorship", or "being a dick".
BTW: You fucked up some of my edits that I traced last year and you
didn't even notice, because all you can see are your outdated aerial
pictures.
So go on and keep having fun with your aerial imagery!

If you are on the ground and MAPPING in an area, then you should MAP
there any way it suits you. But if you feel the urge to "CORRECT" and
"IMPROVE" what other people are MAPPING while they are still active on
the ground in that area, that's an entirely different story.
And on top of that, if you fail to notice that there were GPX traces
around the lakes I mapped in a quarry and you replace them with some
other lakes that only exit on old satellite pictures, then I call that
"fucking things up", even if you spent a considerable effort to follow
contours of lakes that don't exist anymore in that form.
I am fed up with your idea of "collaboration" and I suggest that you
send somebody else with a GPS and a mountainbike up into the Bois de
Jorat, since I won't touch it anymore.
End of this discussion.
Have a nice weekend!

Ok, it looks like we have to keep arguing, so let's shift the focus from the Bois du Jorat (which was my main concern) down to the city of Lausanne. After a quick glance on the change set proposed by Stéphane, I am not sure if it does tell the whole story. Since I don't like it when entire forests disappear for days, I tend to work with incremental change sets that leave the data intact and valid after each change. I was doing a bit more around the place de la Riponne than just changing the Riponne multipolygon, and I am not sure if it is all contained in this change set.
The Place de la Riponne is a pedestrian multipolygon with pedestrian highways inside linking several points relevant for pedestrian routing. There is a new subway station with entrances from Place de la Riponne on the upper level and Place Arlaud (northeast of "Theatre Bulimie") on the lower level, so a couple of things have changed, which were not mapped yet.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=46.523214&lon=6.632699&zoom=18&layers=M
What I changed there:
* Added an angle to the stairs from Riponne to Arlaud to represent their correct shape (they are actually old and well enough visible on the available aerial images)
* Added stairs and pedestrian ways around the Place Arlaud to reflect the different levels there.
* Added stairs, entrances and passages to and through the new subway station (in a simplified manner)
* Removed stairs and pedestrian ways that don't exist anymore.
* Updated the pedestrian highways linking the relevant points of the Riponne, so that they are useful for pedestrian routing again.
* Aligned those pedestrian highways for more orderly rendering on Maps who show them instead of the pedestrian multipolygon or who show both. (Those pedestrian highways are arbitrary anyway, it's a place after all.)
* And yes, I am guilty of extending the shape of the Place de la Riponne multipolygon to some highways that are its physical boundaries while leaving the way with the nodes of the old boundary around, just in case somebody should wish to change it back - which Stéphane promptly did.
While we are at it, I could mention that I added a little meadow and forest between Av. de Riant-Mont and Rue du Tunnel, whose absence on the map didn't seem to bother Stéphane despite its visibility on aerial imagery. But as soon as it was there, he had to correct its boundaries (I used Av de Riant-Mont to separate the meadow from the residential area, which didn't suit Stéphane):
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=46.525628&lon=6.632919&zoom=18&layers=M
And I could mention that I added a little park with playground, parking space and ball sport area between Rue du Nord and Rue César-Roux, whose absence on the map didn't seem to bother Stéphane either despite its visibility on aerial imagery. But again, as soon as it was there, he had to correct its shape and boundaries and to add an inexistent wall (which I removed subsequently):
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=46.525839&lon=6.636851&zoom=18&layers=M
Do we really need to dig out all the change sets? Frankly, while I don't feel much motivation to map in Lausanne anymore, I feel even less motivation to dig up all the change sets and to argue about them. If my mapping in and around Lausanne sucks so badly that it needs constant surveillance and instant interventions and corrections, well, then I better put my time to a more worthwhile and productive use. Which is the conclusion to which I came already a week ago.

Hello everybody!
it's a bit unfortunate that I have to introduce myself on this mailing list in this way. But since Stéphane decided to publish our private exchange together with his interpretation, I would like to provide my point of view.
> Ce que je retiens de la discussion c'est qu'il méprise les
> contributions des autres et que les sienne par contre sont
> irréprochable.
I'm not quite sure how Stéphane arrives at this conclusion.
Judging from the way he is acting (or editing), it seems to be more the other way around. And I don't think that my contributions are so bad and faulty that they need Stéphane's constant attention, "corrections", and "improvements".
In some areas I played along with his wishes, but in general I find it rather tedious to have to juggle with three different parallel lines when I want to work on a highway. And especially in the absence of sufficiently precise information I see no point of doing so.
> Le point central de divergence c'est qu'il veut absolument que toutes
> les zones aillent jusqu'au centre des routes ce qui va a l’encontre
> d'un véritable plan de zone de bonne qualité comme [1].
I have neither the time nor any interest to make "all" zones look a certain way. Given the diversity of mappers, I don't think there will ever be a unique way of mapping.
However I was spending some time mapping with my mountainbike and GPS in and around the Bois du Jorat, a forest zone above Lausanne. And I do find it rather irritating that Stéphane insists now in having it look "his way", especially since I was still mapping in that area.
But as far as I am aware, Stéphane has contributed a copious amount of (new) information by tracing aerial images in and around Lausanne and has probably already contributed more to OSM than I ever will. My ambitions are far more modest. I only map areas and places that I know and care for. And most of all, I am doing this for fun. So with regard to Stéphane's undisputed merits in mapping the area around Lausanne, I decided to withdraw from that area to avoid further conflict and to allow Stéphane to have things looking whichever way it pleases him and based on whatever data sources seem trustworthy to him.
>From my point of view, the conflict is finished and doesn't need any further mediation.

Es gibt doch noch eine Open Source-Veranstaltung in diesem Jahr!
Laut einer Mitteilung in eigener Sache hat TopSoft die Rechte an der
OpenExpo übernommen. Daher findet die
OpenExpo an der Topsoft am 5. und 6. Oktober 2011 in Bern
statt und zwar offenbar als "Open-Source-Business-Park". Im Zentrum
stehe das Zusammenspiel von quelloffenen Lösungen mit kommerziellen
Plattformen. Gemeinsam mit den Organisationen Saffos (Swiss
Association for Free & Fair Office Solutions), Lisog (Linux Solutions
Group) und /ch/open soll die Veranstaltung auf die Bedürfnisse von
KMU, grossen Organisationen, Verwaltungen und Schulen ausgerichtet
werden.
