Ireland/Community Todo List
Information
Purpose of this page
This is a simple list of items that the Irish OSM community have identified as needing further work, which, once completed, should benefit the community in some way.
Who adds to this list?
Anyone can add to this page and adding something does not necessarily mean you are taking ownership to complete it, rather that you are simply flagging an item that might be beneficial if completed.
Who takes ownership of items on the list?
Anyone!
If you have the skills, knowledge or spare time, feel free to stick your name down as the owner of any item and change the status to "In Progress". Once done, just mark it as "Completed". Be sure to let the community know you are working on something on the list as you may get additional offers of help.
Consider using the Ireland Project Template when kicking off a project
Examples
- Adding Ireland specific requirements to a pre-existing wiki tag page
- Creating an automated script of some sort that will complete some task for the community, e.g. highlighting suspicious edits
- A mapping project to add/improve/fix some features within the island of Ireland

| Item | Proposed by | Category | How will this benefit the OSM Ireland community | What skills/knowledge/expertise is needed? | Status | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Add Ireland specific content to the heritage tag page on the OSM wiki | --DaCor (talk) 18:54, 19 November 2020 (UTC) | Documentation | Will assist with the tagging of listed buildings and other heritage sites that are not covered by Historic tagging | Knowledge of who is responsible for heritage classification and maintenance of heritage lists in the south of Ireland and the north? | Not Started | |
| Automated Welcome tool for new mappers once they complete a single edit within the island of Ireland. OSM Belgium have something that might be replicated easily | --DaCor (talk) 19:00, 19 November 2020 (UTC) | Tool | Will provide a standardised method of communication with new mappers and will welcome them to OSM, provide OSM Ireland contact info and links to resources. | Technical know how | Not Started | |
| Fix ele tagging for all peaks on the island of Ireland as some were added during an import of mountainviews.ie data and some have been added based off old 3906 map sheets. Some are in feet, some meters and there is additional variation in the values because of different datums used. | --DaCor (talk) 19:00, 19 November 2020 (UTC) | Map Data | This will standardise the elevation data for all peaks across Ireland | Understanding of the correct requirements in relation to elevation tagging and the different datums | Not Started | |
| Begin importing of Irish govt open data. See the Ireland Open Data project page for more info | Map Data | Imports of govt data will enhance completion of the map data across the island | Knowledge of licensing, open data and an ability to work with govt departments, councils, quangos etc as they need to sign off on a waiver prior to OSM Ireland being able to import any data. | Not Started | ||
| Look at the Philippines NOAH project and see if there is value in doing something similar in Ireland - maybe in conjunction with Met Éireann's new climate department. | --Dónal (talk) 11:17, 21 August 2022 (UTC) | Partnerships | Build bridges with other organisations in Ireland; promote the use of OpenStreetMap. | Ability to engage / partner with other organisations. | Idea | |
| Evaluate if there is value in adopting the techniques identified in theUnited States/Trail Access Project for Ireland | --Dónal (talk) 11:17, 21 August 2022 (UTC) | Map Data | Improve relationships with landowners, help distinguish between informal and formal trails. e.g. on Coillte land | TBD | Idea | |
| Get involved in the Leeds University project looking at sustainable transport tooling. See https://udsleeds.github.io/openinfra/index.html | --Dónal (talk) 11:17, 21 August 2022 (UTC) | Research | Make tools available to the Irish community in relation to promoting and supporting development of sustainable transport infrastructure. | TBD | Idea | |
