I setup a temporary instance of Osmose QA tools. A tool about data quality. It’s a temporary server for 10 days. You can take a look and make remark and comment. Let say if it’s useful.

First of all, I think this is potentially useful, and really like and appreciate the work you’ve done. I have spent some time playing around with it.
However, I think it would need to be customized for OGF, because many (maybe MOST) of the “errors” are not relevant to the OGF context - i.e. they are “false positives.” For example, the “wikipedia” error 3031, or the “soundex” error 5050, which clearly would not apply in a world full of fictional languages.
There are obviously exceptions: I found the error 3040 “incorrect tag” useful in my territories, for example.
Other errors are not even universal on “Real Earth” - thus error 6060 “Hole between administrative boundaries” (which seems to mean there is a lack of coverage of admin_level=8 relations) might be valid in countries in Europe, for example, but in the US, it would be quite common to have “unincorporated territory” with isolated admin_level=8 cities and towns scattered diffusely.
Is there a way to customize the presentation of the list of possible errors? I noticed changes in the left-hand column even in the last 24 hours, removing some of the irrelevant categories - was this on purpose or did I change some presentation settings accidentally?
The pop-up windows would need to be customized to work for OGF - right now they all link to openstreetmap versions, which means one has to record an id number and then manually find it on the OGF map or in JOSM to look at it and fix it.
Also, the server response is quite slow - this is forgivable as “proof of concept” but unless it were more responsive in real implementation, it would be useless.
Lastly, on the Osmose page at the OSM wiki, it mentions the ability to filter output of the Osmose data by username. This would be VERY USEFUL, from an admin standpoint, allowing users to monitor and improve their own work, and allowing admins to track users whose work is poor quality.

I can’t really comment on the technical stuff, but I’d just like to say that it appears pretty useful to me personally, especially to fix mapping errors that I’ve made in the early stages of developing. I’ve just spent one minute or so checking some of the points on the map and found several errors, like marking a wall as “building” or ways that remained unconnected. So thank you for your work :)!

@Luciano I made a list of OSM specific analysis. I will think how deals with that. The issues detection list is already customised by earth countries or areas.
You can customize displayed issues by url and top setting of the pannel, some more options on layers switcher.
Yes I need customise osm.org links and OAuth.
Yes, the server is a very cheap one !
The filter by user is already in place, in the top bar click on “Issues by users”.

Thank you for your response. I am only beginning to learn about Osmose, so this might be a chance to learn more about it, experimenting with this.
Sorry if I didn’t fully understand the interface or capabilities. Is there some documentation available besides what I found online at the OSM wiki?
Again, thanks for your efforts and work - it’s really interesting.
