>From what I've seen the notes have worked really well: better than I could have hoped. Every few days someone finds one of those notes, hunts down the tool stand, and closes the note. A number of note closers have been beginning mappers as well: perhaps these notes represent a mapping task that's both in their area and accessible at their level of mapping comfort. If the notes have brought a modest number of mappers out of the glow of their computer screens, and out into the community, that's great. -- Most of the nodes were pretty close: but the occasional one has moved pretty far (at least 40 meters). Every station searched for on the ground has been found, with one exception. That station was subsequently deleted from both OSM and the vendor database at Dero corporation. The on the ground mapper took multiple visits to the site, after the company provided more details. But it's just not there. -- Perhaps the notes that remain after a set period (maybe a year) should be bulk deleted. The notes in the USA are getting resolved at a steady pace. The notes in the UK (which were imported without nodes) have not attracted much interest. I am concerned that some mappers will fix a tool stand location, but never notice the corresponding note.
