Hi Nicolas, I think that could be really valuable. One of the first mapping parties I attended was one I helped Harry organise, to map north Peckham when the whole area was a blank space on the map, and in particular to add more detail for roads and footpaths through estates that were usually just shown as gaps in other maps. I also helped map the trees on the Heygate Estate before demolition started, which is great to have as an archive of what was there before the developers reneged on promises and cut some of the best specimens down.
Just a few points/questions... 1. Presumably the data is coming from people's local knowledge, so there aren't any copyright issues? What's the underlying map people are adding them to - OSM? Google maps? That might create a copyright issue. I know there are maps of London council estates knocking around that are based on Ordnance Survey data. 2. Someone would then need to go through, one by one, and check whether the estate's name is already in the database before adding the missing names. There are already lots in OSM, so it would be good to avoid adding duplicates. 3. I'm not sure we've ever settled on the right place= value for estates. It's some years since I was really actively mapping - these days I just maintain my immediate area. But would it be place=neighbourhood, place=locality, place=estate, something else? 4. Some estates are entered as nodes, others as areas, and some areas are landuse=residential while others are just given the estate name. Again, this might be a good opportunity to get a consistent approach?
