I think you're confusing purpose and tool. Why cannot the same (very similar) application, running on another server of course (other instance), be used to report ground problems instead of map problems? "very similar": a difference would probably be how the report is cleared: OSM: by anybody, FixMyStreet: by maintenance personnel. > That doesn't mean that that the software for FixMyStreet can't > be improved. It's open source. On 2013-07-07 10:37, Jo wrote : > Openstreetbugs is being replaced by the recent addition of Notes. What does that mean? (any URL?) Cheers, André.
