No team can work together effectively without a lot of communication. There are four ways the Laos Editing community communicates:
Waze Laos Discord Chat
We have chosen to use Discord as the best way to communicate. If you would like to join discussions and help develop the Waze map in Laos, Discord gives the best opportunities. There are different channels for specific subjects, and you can send private Direct Messages (DM) as well. It is easy to share pictures and screenshots, and to get help from multiple editors. It is also easy to set notification rules for your browser as well as for your phone. You can request a link to the Waze Laos Discord server at the above link.
Forum Private Messages (PM)
With a Forum Account (which you will need before you can help edit the map anyway) you can 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.
WME 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 Waze Laos Discord Chat.
Wazeopedia
A lot of information is available in the Wazeopedia. (“Wiki” for short)
- There are global pages with information that applies to all regions in the World.
- There are local pages (like this one) that apply to specific countries.
- There are also many pages that explain how specific things work.
- Links on all these pages will take you to helpful information in another part of the Wazeopedia.
We have just started this Wiki page for Laos. Because all of our current editors live outside of Laos, this page is only available in English right now.
We are doing our best to describe things the way they work in Laos. However, since none of us live there, or have even visited, our knowledge is limited. We will welcome local editors, and will be happy to update this page as we learn more from editors who live and work in Laos. Back to main.
