Matthijs,
Nice work.
We've previously tracks things to do on the wiki as a project list:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mappa-Mercia#Mini_projects
So you might add a new project to the table and a new page to track
locations that need visiting.

Hi all,
Been following this discussion.
My only thoughts would be that having the name for something, such as a
Bus Stop makes a lot of sense and it should be in a recognised field,
not buried in a local subset of data. However, this should be
programmatically addressed on a national level.

For name, use whatever is on the bus stop sign
Bus information points use two-letter codes ( stop DL, etc). What
about using those?

My main concern is that I'm not convinced that bus stops even have a name
in the UK.
There seems to be indeed some variation in what name is being used.
But there is some logic.
For example, one I just looked at in

To use the map I'd prefer not to have that signup box floating around all

You could tick the stay logged in button, or alternatively if you want a
full screen map there are plenty of sites that provide alternate views of
OSM

Not at all. I am trying to help you by communicating the fact that this

I think the point Rob was making is that OpenStreetMap.org can't be all
things to all men and neither should it attempt to be. There are many
many instances of OSM map data rendered in ways that appeal to various
users, the OpenStreetMap.org page should show a generic map use with

Just read this after sending my reply to Oliver and I think you're
right, also think the http://openstreetmap.de/ or even
http://openstreetmap.us/ are right also.
If we are to render a version of OSM then it should just be seen as a
reference implementation of the DB and not some holy grail.

I don't believe OSM is about rendering maps, isn't it about creating a

On the contrary, I use openstreetmap.org all the time. Whenever I
encounter a place I'm unfamiliar with, I look it up on
openstreetmap.org. I almost never look at renderings of OSM data through
another web-site. In Facebook postings and emails, where I want to link
to a map it's invariably to
