Today is my first day of editing here on Open Street Maps. I used OSM few times before but never edited anything. Today I decided to contribute and here I am. I did some road corrections in a village near my town and I added few roads there and a few houses and building.

Going over the work done by contributors before I have to note that most of the things are there, outlined, but they’re not correctly positioned. I’m not sure if it could’ve happened that because of some update roads and buildings move a bit from their place. But anyways in a next few months I will put all the things in their place and hopefully add everything else as well. Correcting smaller areas, like villages is no problem at all since there are not many things and it’s not that crowded, but the problem will be when I start doing corrections in my hometown Lukavac. There are many things (roads, buildings, railways, and etc.) and since on top of all of that they’re out of their place it’s hard to look at that and navigate. I might, when I come to doing corrections at that place, delete everything in a block or two and start a new, unless I find a way to turn off certain things from showing up while I’m doing work on other things.(For ex. hiding buildings while I’m correcting roads)

All my nearby contributors are not active. Most of them logged in 5-6 years ago and from the younger ones there are few that logged in around 11 months ago but made no contributions. So I guess I’ll have to do this all by myself. I might ask someone from my uni or hometown to join me but honestly I doubt anyone will do it.

So for now I’ll mostly be doing corrections on the existing things and then I’ll start adding the missing things.
