Bug ID: 477128
Summary: Wish: Use additional data sources for sync
Classification: Applications
Product: kgeography
Version: unspecified
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: aa...@kde.org
Reporter: sh.ya...@gmail.com
CC: lauran...@free.fr
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
KGeography is using a very large dataset which requires a lot of manual
handling, syncing it with an external source such as Wikidata/OSM will lower
the maintenance overhead and will allow contribution from translators and
mappers who have never even heard of KGeography.
Another important thing is that most of the work I've done for KGeography
wasn't documented elsewhere, meaning that if you want to look at a very
comprehensive list of Hebrew translation for these specific places it's
possible to find them only as part of KGeography translation instead of public
semantic knowledge bases such as Wikidata or OSM.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I know both Wikidata and OSM have submission policies at large scale so it's
going to be a little rough at the beginning but it should be a relatively
simple process afterwards.
