Now it'd be great if we at least had some means to reply back to anonymous users who add notes. GitHub issue: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/776 My observation is that GitHub issues with its accept/reject/leave forever conclusion to every discussion are not exactly a best place for a coordinated development. Also, users want to have everything, developers want to write as little code as needed (because they are volunteers not paid by OSMF) and the OSM as a system stays in a hiatus. Software (both the editor and consumer side) is as important as data and community. On that topic, I was going to write a rant about how bad apps that use OSM data are (OsmAnd, MapFactor, be-on-road and many others). Assuming that our map data are the best in many places, these apps would be so popular. They aren't, because they either are awkward to use, or try to do everything while not doing any single thing well. Good software -> more users who either edit or report errors -> better community. That is my opinion. Michał _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
