Reflecting on my 2025 Contributions to Regina's OSM
Posted by Malle_Yeno on 19 December 2025 in English.Over the past year, I made a lot of contributions to Regina’s OSM. Since snow has made surveying difficult, I felt a retrospective on those contributions were a good idea. Many edits came through the StreetComplete app, though more intensive projects have called for desktop editing. Creating a separate network for sidewalks and starting to make indoor maps for a couple buildings are the items I’m most excited about. The changes made to the Regina Wiki page on OSM were pretty large but hopefully will give a good overview of where active mapping projects are at. Creating a wiki page for Regina Transit will hopefully help to make updates to it easier to coordinate.

Cool. I wish more mappers would look up and update their respective hometown’s OSM wiki page, because I think it has huge potential : from coordinating with fellow mappers in the area, setting up city-wide projects, compiling useful information for travelers who want to visit the city, contacting a local OSM “ambassador” before visiting, to community building.
It would be really cool if we had a “Places @ OSM Wiki Maintainer Working Group” as a space to discuss and collaborate on how to improve place articles on the OSM wiki, building a worldwide inter-city network, with each member representing one city. As a maintainer of my hometown’s OSM wiki article, I’m really looking up to such initiatives. Haha.

That sounds like a great idea! I especially like the idea of an ambassador kind of thing. I imagine that would make collaborating with your local community a lot easier – for me I had to look up who was making edits recently because the “mappers near you” panel on the site returned some real old edits. If there was some kind of panel where you could click a button and it put you on a list of interested parties for a given area, I think that’d be useful.

Perhaps one day make house addressing grid maps of Regina.
