Calling All Experienced Contributors: New mappers need your help! | Thanks for the post. I enjoy reviewing newbie changesets, I find that the challenge for me is staying succinct, while remaining friendly and useful. Once the comment gets a bit longer, I find it difficult to structure due to the lack of formatting options in comments. Your bulletpoint list of considerations is great. I would add that you need to know when to hold back: If a changeset has multiple issues, try to focus on one major issue, rather than itemizing every single problem. (And of course letting them know what was done well) |

Fixing tiny fonts in JOSM on Windows | I run JOSM using OpenWebStart in Windows, so I don’t have this JOSM.exe available. I had similar issues with UI font sizes. What helped in my case was to change the Look and Feel theme in the Display preferences: I changed to Nimbus, and it was a complete fix of my UI scaling issues. |

Identifying and adding missing pedestrian accessways in Auckland |
While some can be ridden through, or at least navigated through with a bike, it is very common for these accessways to have steps and bike-barriers. Through the imagery available I am not able to confidently spot such barriers and assess the accessway’s suitability for bikes, so I err on the side of caution and leave this factor outside of the scope of the process. This detail would need to be filled out with on-the-ground surveys, or from editors with local knowledge. |

Identifying and adding missing pedestrian accessways in Auckland | Appreciate the feedback and comments, thanks.
Yes I have seen similar reactions. Here was a call to close a pedestrian accessway in Hastings (NZ) due to antisocial behaviour. And I have seen pushback against proposals for new pedestrian connections, due to concerns that they will lead to unknown elements entering the neighbourhood. |

Arthur Grey Low Traffic Area | Trial has been abandoned due to ongoing opposition/disruption https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland-traffic-onehunga-low-traffic-neighbourhood-trial-cancelled/W53YBTT7WDFAP7HSDQGYH3PNQ4/ Not sure if it has been changed on the ground yet, will leave an OSM note reminding to update. |

Entering buildings REALLY quickly in JOSM, and how to make them ready for streetcomplete housenumber tagging | Nice post and good discussion in the comments. I will mention that Filters in JOSM can be useful when you are focussing on a specific task, like drawing buildings. This way you will not inadvertently select/edit roads or nodes, or unintentionally join your buildings to existing features. |
