What's useful for a user at OTI?

  1. Presets are confusing. It would be good to have GUI to select just "school" or "clinic". Maybe as a subset of the default preset?
  2. KML is a useful format since Google Earth is an easy tool to visualize the locations.
  3. POI is more widely used than buildings. There is no current standard for POI vs buildings when it comes to tracing in certain regions (eg. Haiti).

We are thinking of a potential hackathon that focuses on particular needs. Andrew might have a list/can talk to people of projects that fall under the same theme, so that the hackathon can be project-based and more concrete.

  1. Agreed presets are confusing, I'm not really sure how on a technical level we get from using presets which are deeply embedded in how the exports tool works to a GUI to just select single things like "school" or "clinic". Not saying it is not doable, just suggesting it is a deeper root issue in how the system is set-up.
  2. There is KML export. Do you mean you'd like changes to it?
  3. Hmmm, you mean how to edit a polygon vs. a point?
