Re: [Talk-us] Putting businesses on OSM with onosm.org
I found when accepting water fountain data from non-mappers that... most of it was good... but I really had to flip through each node to find the newbie mistakes. I think "onosm" would produce a lot of good data that would be better "hand curated" as it enters osm proper. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Putting businesses on OSM with onosm.org
Hi Ian, I gave it a spin. For me the interesting question is how to deploy it. Option 1, would be to make this a feature on the main OSM site. Instead of asking people to add a note, we could ask a couple more structured questions to insure we have enough info in the note. Let face it, "add a note to osm", is not anybodies actual goal. It is always going to be something higher level, like "add a POI", remove close POI, move POI, add road, etc. Option 2, would be to try to make a small business out of it, that also adds in new business to google, bing, yelp, etc. Just guessing, but I suspect, having a standalone site for just OSM might not get enough use to make it worth it...

This means they have to create a user, though, and that'd pull them out of this really simple 3-step workflow. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

This is great. - Right now if your business is already on there you're kinda falling through the cracks. - How are you thinking this should develop in the future? Direct editing on OSM?
