Revision as of 00:19, 5 September 2016
 Welcome |  Editing |  Community |  Misc |
The Waze Community in India
The community maintains the Waze map and makes sure it works as best as possible. Therefore, we work together to make guidelines that are specific to India. The community of India is not very large yet, and much of the map in India is not maintained well. You can help by sharing your experiences, just drive around with Waze turned on or even edit the map yourself.
Communication
How can I contact Waze? Where can I find more information? Where can I post my questions? Waze is dependent upon the local community. A community requires people to communicate and organize. You can find most Waze editors on the Waze forum, chat platforms and social media. The community management is responsible for Waze in India. Please contact them for questions or assistance.
Forum
The forum is the official Waze communication platform where you can find a lot of information. You can read the latest information, learn from questions of other editors or ask a question yourself. Login to the Waze India forum using your Waze login and password that you also use in the app and the editor. In the forum you can also make use of Private Messages (PM). This is a kind of inbox, like your e-mail. When you receive a PM, you will also receive a message to your regular e-mail to inform you of the new message.
Chat
While you are editing, you can directly request help in WME chat. It shows you the level of the editor you are talking to. Please keep in mind that most editors are willing to help, but not all of them have the technical knowledge or editing experience to give you the best answer. Because the built-in chat does not always work as desired, we mostly use Slack©.
Slack is a community chat platform with many possibilities. There are teaching classes and webinars to improve your editing skills. There are several channels, project groups, and you can send Direct Messages (DM) too. If you like to join into discussions and development of Waze India, Slack gives the best opportunities. You can request access to Slack by filling in this form. You will then receive an invitation to Slack, where you need to make an account.
Wiki
A lot of information about Waze is available in the Global Wiki. Because the situation, laws and habits differ in various countries, the guidelines specific to India are written in the local India pages. If you are opening pages outside the Indian pages, keep in mind that the guidelines of India always precede! The pages for Waze India all contain the tabs on top, so you will not get lost.

The wiki pages in India are in the proces of getting updated. At the bottom of each Wiki page, the last update is shown. If this is more than half a year ago, please take into consideration that the information might be outdated. If there is anything unclear, contact your community.
Social Media
India has a page on Facebook. The page is used mainly to inform anyone who is interested.
Follow Waze India on twitter.
Rank, roles and responsibilities
The Waze community knows ranks and roles, along with the points and edit count.
The Waze India community is self-administered, meaning that the active group of Wazers in India is in charge of drawing the maps, regulate them, guide new users, create and modify the wiki, publicize tools, and moderate the forum. The community management take the final decisions and maintain the communication between users and the staff of Waze.
