For those wondering about examples, the wiki page linked in the initial e-mail contained a further link to this page which describes in detail the kind of issues Mapbox is planning to fix.

Also, as mentioned at https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/387#issuecomment-1015316614 , the  json files at https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/407#issue-1204668361 can be unzipped and dropped on a browser pointing at geojson.io .  That way you can see the "actual detected problems" (and see if they really are problems).

I want to chime in and say I am more than happy to put hours into fixing a list of issues if Mapbox can provide them. 

Even if no one is putting the time in to fix them from the community (a very far hypothetical situation from what would actually happen), Mapbox should publish the list of issues, or at the very least the list of categories with some examples. 

If the goal is good map data with minimal errors, then every reason to collaborate toward that end, no need to have competing objectives.

Hello,

Andy Townsend from OSM's Data Working Group here.  We were cc:ed on http://lists.openstreetmap.ch/pipermail/talk-ch/2022-April/011470.html and I've picked it up because I've been involved with a couple of related tickets elsewhere.  Sorry about the out-of thread message; I've just joined this list to reply.

Mapbox have been creating these "projects" country by country at https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues and what's happened in each country has been broadly similar:

It makes no sense for Mapbox to take this approach in every country - it just creates extra work for everyone. 

A much better approach would be what (eventually, after much badgering by the local community) happened in the UK.  At https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/387#issuecomment-1015316614 Mapbox published their list of "detected problems".  What then happened in the UK was that the local communityfixed a large number of the issues (where there were genuine issues), and Mapbox's "mappers" didn't need to do anything - something of a win/win for everyone.  I suspect that the Swiss OSM community is even better qualified than the UK one for that approach to work here too.

Looking outside of Switzerland, I'm now worried about where there hasn't been feedback on issues at https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/ , but that's offitopic for this list.

Best Regards,

Andy (from the DWG)
