I've contacted them, they are not led by the school, the edits all come from a research group, and are all made by this member whose abbreviation is ztg. (changeset comment specification has been informed)
So I recommend thinking of it as individual mapper rather than organized editing
What they do is improving exposure information for high mountain areas in Asia as they said. Fantastic. Thanks for getting back on this. Could you ask them to make their change set comments a bit more detailed and square off buildings? | 03:48:08 |

Fantastic. Thanks for getting back on this. Could you ask them to make their change set comments a bit more detailed and square off buildings? Sorry but my communication to them may not be able to ask this, I suggest you comment under the changeset of the corresponding building 😂 | 03:50:26 |
| Chinmay | Will do. It’s not much of an issue tbh until you try to render data on a map tile and then suddenly you’ve got this bunch of buildings that look like crooked teeth 😂 | 03:52:41 |

Nice! Should you have also excluded value “track”? Mapped Tracks in India are in most cases the only but unpaved connection of villages to the world. Of course this is not the official OSM definition of tracks. Do the official length values exclude track roads? I dont know. | 06:05:25 |

Do the official length values exclude track roads? I dont know. I don't know the stages of road building in other countries, but in Himachal Pradesh - official roads (which require multiple level of clearances) do eventually get metalled (although the quality in rural areas might be really bad). Un official roads also exist aplenty - where villagers cumulatively collect money + use Panchayat funds to construct roads to get their produce out- these are generally track roads where only 4x4 can go. These are unofficial because no clearances were granted. Unless there is local knowledge, it is hard to say if a road is official or unofficial. | 06:17:24 |
| Heinz Vieth | The official statistic defines several classes of roads. Among them:"roads with a carriageway composed od natural soil" | 06:23:18 |

| Heinz Vieth | Excluding tracks in HP reduces the total length from 36416 to 33591km. | 06:34:36 |
| Heinz Vieth | All mapped tracks (which I checked) in RJ are defined as rural roads in SOI and Bharatmaps. | 06:41:11 |

| sahilister | From local knowledge of New Delhi Railway station, I know https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/509045597 exists but https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/509045600 doesn't. Want to confirm is it essential/good practice/SOP to connect footways to railway platforms so https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/509045600 was added? | 15:00:31 |
| sahilister | Has been done on almost all the platforms like
- https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/176492703
- https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/176492752
- https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/176492709 etc.

 सागर आचार्य | What has been done about your ethics? | 15:27:12 |
| सागर आचार्य | Is there any progress on that front? | 15:27:24 |
 contrapunctus | sahilister: I look at those and imagine someone walking off the platform onto the tracks 😄️ | 15:32:07 |

| Chinmay | It’s high time we add some official rules. This is a screenshot from the OSM discord. I feel 1, 2, 3 should be enough. | 16:04:59 |
| Muzirian | This looks good, if nobody has any other suggestions, we can add this to the group | 16:17:21 |
