I like the idea of the user-contributed "please map me" addresses. I like the idea of the map-bug type of "please fix me" bug reports. But I wonder if we could get a higher quality of bug report by getting a tighter connection to the reporter of the bug / request? There have been many reports of bugs with insufficient data, and now we are seeing address requests with unclear references. I wonder if bug-reports, etc. with an included contact email would lead to better results for the bug reporter and the OSMer who responds? Might it also lead to big reporters becoming OSM contributors? It is left as a project for the reader to figure out a way to helpfully connect bug reporters with bug squishers. ;-) _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
