Add GeoScribble WMS overlay

[Zverik]

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GeoScribble — for editors that don't support the geometric notes yet.

Things to discuss:

• There is no explicit license mention, but the wiki page states it's PDDL. Should I put this license note somewhere else?
• There are two layers: limited to 3 months and 3 weeks of notes. Does 3 weeks work?
• default=true?
• i18n=true?

Suggested change

	"name": "GeoScribble latest notes",
	"name": "GeoScribble latest notes (Every Door)",

I would not tie this to a single editor. Pretty sure we'll see this layer being populated from other apps before the year ends.

[tordans]

Agreed, that might very well be. But it will be easy to update it here, once that happens. Right now, I don't see a way that a user would be able to understand where those GeoScribbles came from just by looking at the title and description in the iD Editor Sidebar. — Adding a bit more context helps a lot.

Exactly: openstreetmap/iD#9280

It does need background to work. Just like OSM GPS layer. That's why there's "overlay": true key included.

Ah, I get it now, thanks. I never really looked at the overlay-prop and feature in iD but looking at the code now this should show up in the overlay section. Nice.

I suggest making it a bit more explicit by adding a section to the wiki and changing the link to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GeoScribble#licence

Good idea, just did that.

This is the age of the data that will show up? I think 3 month should be better since there will not be a lot of data to start with and moving from mobile to a different editor can take a bit of time…

In my experience, I either map surveyed things in a week, or forget about them altogether. There are three options:

1. Keep it 3 weeks.
2. Change to 3 months.
3. Add two GeoScribble layers, one for weeks and one for months (that's the matter of layer= parameter).

• default=true?
• i18n=true?

What are those?

Questions on whether:

• Include the layer in the defaults, like OSM GPS layer and Bing & Mapbox imagery.
• Allow for translating the layer name and description.

I believe i18n=true could be used, since the description would then be available to be translated ("what is GeoScribble?" some users might ask at first), and also given that the proposed name is "GeoScribble latest notes", this latest notes part can and should be translated as well to non-English speakers.
