  buildings:
    title: Draw twenty buildings
    description: Draw at least 20 buildings anywhere. Open your editor of choice,
      navigate to a poorly mapped rural or industrial area, and trace some buildings.
  coastline:
    title: Improve a Coastline
    description: >-
      Many coastlines were imported long time ago from a digitized low-resolution
      satellite imagery.
      You can definitely help improving it in some places. Add at least 10 nodes to
      a coastline.
  farmland:
    title: Map a Farmland
    description: >-
      Find a patch of tillage or pasture (try Central US or Western Russia),
      and map it with [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Dfarmland
      landuse=farmland].
  highway:
    title: Map a Road
    description: This is often the first thing people do when they join OpenStreetMap.
      Find an unmapped road nearby and add it to the map.
  josm:
    title: Make an edit with JOSM
    description: >-
      Install the JOSM editor, if you haven't already, and edit something with it.
      We recommend drawing some buildings:
       
      Download a part of the map, add an imagery layer,
      press "A" and click on a corner of a building. Then double-click on an adjacent
      corner,
      making it a line. Then press "X" and drag the line out to make it a rectangle.
      Finally, press "Alt+A" to add ''building=yes'', and then upload the change.
  fix:
    title: A Small Fix
    description: >-
      Changeset comments are important. But not for you today: make a change and put
      "fix"
      in the changeset comment field. Just these three letters, nothing more.
  haiti:
    title: Visit Haiti
    description: >-
      In 2010 there was a catastrophic earthquake 25 km west of the capital of Haiti,
      Port-au-Prince.
      That gave start to the Humanitarian Mapping Team, thanks to which the capital
      was mapped
      perfectly. But not the rest of the country: find an unmapped building in Haiti
      and trace it.
  improve_river:
    title: Improve a River
    description: >-
      Most rivers have already been mapped. The issue is, that was done using a low-resolution
      satellite imagery. Now you can do better: fire up JOSM, select a river, press
      "W" and
      improve the way. Add at least 10 nodes to a ''waterway=river''.
  lanes:
    title: Count the Lanes
    description: Find a road that doesn't have the ''lanes'' tag set. Find a good
      imagery for the area and add the number of lanes for that road.
  leaf_types:
    title: Plant two trees
    description: >-
      Mapping a tree is not just placing a ''natural=tree'' node. You have to specify
      its type.
      Please read wiki pages on [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:leaf_type
      leaf_type]
      and [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:leaf_cycle leaf_cycle], and then
      add 2 trees near your home or somewhere
      familiar to you using these tags.
  lit:
    title: Paint a Road Lit
    description: >-
      City at night looks better when the streets are lit. Add ''lit=yes'' or ''lit=no''
      to few roads.
  mapsme:
    title: Use Organic Maps
    description: Organic Maps is not just a multiplatform map browser and navigator.
      You can edit the map with it. Just click on an amenity, or choose "Add a place"
      from the menu. Try that.
  note:
    title: Resolve a Note
    description: Enable notes on the OSM website and find an unresolved note that
      you can fix. Resolve the note.
  railway:
    title: Map a Railway
    description: Railways usually get less attention than roads, but they are no less
      important! Map a railway line. If you can't find where, try adding side tracks
      at stations.
  sidewalk:
    title: Add a Sidewalk
    description: >-
      Sidewalk is a footway near a road. For a better pedestrian routing, find a road
      without a sidewalk mapped,
      and draw two footways on the both sides (backed by an imagery) with an additional
      ''footway=sidewalk'' tag.
      When adding a crossing as a way, use ''highway=footway + footway=crossing''.
  stream:
    title: Draw a Stream
    description: Rivers are mostly mapped all over the world, but streams are too
      numerous to have them all. Find a stream (not a ditch), and map it.
  bridge:
    title: Draw a Bridge
    description: Many roads in rural areas are drawn fast and without regard for crossing
      streams and rivers. Find a place where a mapper forgot to split a road and mark
      a bridge, and do that for them.
  delete:
    title: Delete!
    description: It is not hard to find something to map. But can you find anything
      to delete? Delete 5 objects — but only these that are obsolete or redundant.
  giveway:
    title: Give Way
    description: >-
      There is a special tag for mapping the triangle "give way" sign.
      It's [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dgive_way highway=give_way],
      obviously.
      Find such a sign, either by using Mapillary or your memory, place a node on
      a highway that has to give way,
      and tag that node with the tag. Also add a [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:priority_road
      priority_road tag] to the main road.
  gomap:
    title: Go Map!!!
    description: >-
      While Android platform has many OSM editors, iOS is lacking. The best OSM editor
      for it is [https://itunes.apple.com/app/id592990211 Go Map!!] (with exclamation
      marks), and it has come back from abandonware with an update for iOS11 and iPhone
      X. No more excuses not to map on the go - so go map!!
  lamps:
    title: Plant a Street Lamp
    description: >-
      Is it dark outside? Do you see a street lighed by a lamp? We're pretty sure
      that lamp is not mapped.
      Add at least two [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dstreet_lamp
      highway=street_lamp]s.
  osmand:
    title: Use OsmAnd
    description: >-
      [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.osmand OsmAnd] is one of
      the popular
      OpenStreetMap applications for Android devices,
      highly configurable, but a bit too complex for some. It can upload points to
      the map.
      Install the "OSM Editing" plugin and create a point somewhere. Read
      [https://osmand.net/features/osm-editing-plugin the documentation] if you get
      lost
      in the interface.
  streetcomplete:
    title: Map with StreetComplete
    description: >-
      If your phone is an iPhone, bad luck. For Android, install the
      [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.westnordost.streetcomplete
      StreetComplete]
      application and do a few tasks. They really take a second each.
  switch:
    title: Make Two Railway Switches
    description: >-
      When two railways merge, they do it with a railway switch. Find a station,
      and add at least two [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Dswitch
      railway=switch]
      tags to nodes where railways connect.
  tracks:
    title: Draw some track roads
    description: >-
      A track road is a road leading to some farm or in a forest. It is marked by
      [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtrack highway=track]
      with optional ''tracktype=gradeN'', with N from 1 (best) to 5 (worst).
      Find a field or a forest and draw 2-3 km of a track.
  turn_restriction:
    title: Add a Turn Restriction
    description: Find an unmapped turn restriction on Mapillary or other OSM-compatible
      source. Choose a smaller town if you like. Map the restriction.
  turnlanes:
    title: Turn Lanes
    description: >-
      Read the [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:turn#Turning_indications_per_lane
      turn:lanes] description,
      find an intersection with lanes visible on a satellite imagery or on Mapillary,
      and map all the turn lanes on all four sides of the intersection.
  waste_basket:
    title: Waste Baskets
    description: >-
      When outside, you are passing a lot of waste baskets: near shops, at bus stops,
      at house entrances. Remember one, and map it with ''amenity=waste_basket''.
  bench:
    title: Map a Bench
    description: Remember when you walked around a park, and there were benches? Try
      to remember their locations, since for this task you need to add one bench.
  hot_task:
    title: Fix a building
    description: >-
      Open [https://tasks.hotosm.org/ HOT Tasking Manager] and choose a random active
      task.
      Inside, choose a random yellow rectangle and do a validation. See how novice
      mappers draw their buildings,
      meditate on that a bit, and then fix them: straighten the edges, improve shapes.
      Just a couple would do.
  postcode:
    title: Add a Postcode
    description: In some countries, like Russia or the USA, you can find a postcode
      in a publicly-available database. In others you just know it or deduce it from
      indirect sources, like a shop website. Find a postcode for any building that
      does not have it, and map it.
  subway:
    title: Fix a subway
    description: >-
      For this you need to know the [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Metro_Mapping
      Public Transport v2 schema].
      Head to the [https://osmz.ru/subways/ Subway Validator] and pick a city with
      an error in the subway.
      It should involve modifying a subway route. Fix it — and you may go, or continue
      tidying up the network.
  tiger:
    title: Fix a Tiger
    description: >-
      [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TIGER TIGER] is a public domain road dataset
      in USA.
      It was imported in 2005, and the import was imperfect.
      Find a highway with tiger:reviewed=no and fix at least three, setting a correct
      road class and removing the tag.
