Things to do (CHM)
english si:
In no particular order, and I'm just spitballing here. Meant as a talking point.
1) Software stuff
- create map generator
- create highway browser
- create stats pages
- create tools (wpt editor, concurrency check, labels in use,
- create forum
- create .css / site design
- create home page and other static pages (manual, sources, etc)
- create site-wide log in system
- create .list file uploader (for all users)
- create highway data update system (for collaborators only)
- create process that redraws the maps and updates the stats (automatically running daily?, biweekly?, weekly?)
- update highway data so up-to-date
- finish peer review of systems in that process
2) Hardware stuff
- get server
- upload stuff to server
3) People stuff
- contact existing and past collaborators
- contact existing users of the site
- sort out how the project is going to work
4) Moving beyond the basics
- new systems
- new collaborators
- better borders in Eurasiafrica
- .list file creator

Expanding on the borders point, re-doing water boundaries, so user maps don't show a lot of highways offshore (as is especially noticeable in New York City user maps). The way CHM did it, tweaking water boundaries was an incredible pain, with lots of processing time needed to redraw the ocean, and so was strongly discouraged. AFAIK, last time we went through that exercise was when we had to dredge up two additional islands from the bottom of the Pacific, for the Hawaii State Highways route set.
Land borders could be improved in some places in North America, particularly for the Arctic jurisdictions. But fortunately not a moving target as with the Eastern Hemisphere.
Is there much interest in expanding geographic coverage of the project into Asia (except for the former Soviet Union and Turkey, which CHM covers), or Africa or South America? I think this can wait awhile, along with any land and water boundaries re-drawing there.

5) Find a way to keep jokers out of this sub-forum, so it can stay more or less on-topic.

Sorry about that, I'll lend my time in either moving or deleting posts that don't pertain to the project.
As to everyone else, all forum rules remain in effect for this section. The same penalties will apply to those who break the rules in this section just like the other ones.

While possibly not Asia or Africa, we probably do want to add Australia (and to an extent, New Zealand?).
