Welcome to Marble, a virtual globe and world atlas that runs on Linux, Windows, MacOS and Android. Find your way and explore the world! :-)

To complete this task you need a Marble development environment. Do one of these tasks to set it up:

• Setup a Marble development environment on Linux
• Setup a Marble dev environment on Windows

Marble has a beautiful OpenStreetMap Vector Map that shows a vast amount of OSM features. Currently the osm tags historic=memorial and tourism=attraction are mapped to the same category GeoDataPlacemark::TouristAttraction. This results in some rather awkward descriptions of memorials that are then called a tourist attraction. Therefore we need separate categories for both. See task 4808 for details.

When you are done, please upload your code changes in a review request to phabricator.

Got a question or a problem you cannot solve on your own? Please contact your mentors:

• Using live chat via the #marble IRC channel in Freenode (Dennis Nienhüser is called Earthwings and Torsten Rahn is tackat). Note that we have to sleep and work sometimes, so might not respond immediately. We'll read your messages later though.
• By mail using nienhueser@kde.org and rahn@kde.org
