Nice curation! And some nice tips (I went a bit fast on the document but bookmarked it! ).
Honestly I am just sad that we have that bloated mess ... At that point (ie 5000+ ) we are getting close to use a DB to store and document them, it could them link either to the ESRI server and/or to some object storage.
Would #OSM US be interested by this kind of project? pinging @watmildon Just focus on Public Domain license will be a good start ....
Have you explored the updated ohsomeNow Stats by #HeiGIT?
The new release offers new insights into global mapping, allowing you to visualize all #OSM contributions dating back to 2005.

The other feedback I got was that people should be incentivized to improve OSM…e.g. delivery companies which use OSM could give discounts to mappers, and OSM itself could have some badges and achievements…
In response, I mentioned StreetComplete, presented the heatmap recently added to OSM profiles, and presented the proprietary web services How Did You Contribute to OpenStreetMap? (HDYC) and OSMStats.
But there’s still a lot more that could be done. At the very least, I hope HDYC and OSMStats can be reimplemented as part of osm.org itself…

It was pretty funny how that person asked whether there is any way to “reach out to OSM and ask them to only focus on one app”…and I had to gently inform them that OSM (or the OSMF) doesn’t make any apps, that each app was made by independent developers, and that there is no top-down authority dictating who works on what… 
Continued thread
One of the participants said that having multiple apps is too complicated for the average person.
At that point, I…
- had covered #CoMaps (with exercises to practice bookmarking things, editing bookmarks, browsing bookmarks, using the navigation, enabling the Metro layer, and using the search),
- had gotten started with #iD,
- and had mentioned #MapComplete to the complainant in response to a query of theirs.
In the heat of the moment I said that having one app that can do it all would become a pretty complicated one (just look at OsmAnd)…but is that really true if the UI is well-designed…?
#OsmAPP (osmapp.org) aims to be one such “universal app for OpenStreetMap”. I hope it can achieve its goals while still remaining tech-illiterate-friendly…
OsmAPPOsmAPPAn open-source map of the world based on the OpenStreetMap database. Features a search, clickable points of interest, in-app map edits, and more!
@imp3tuz If your area is totally unmapped - no streets or buildings - go to osm.org and click Edit. That opens the browser-based editor called iD. Follow the walkthrough.
If you want to add all kinds of details and a gamified experience, see StreetComplete on Android. (The closest thing on iOS is Go Map, until the StreetComplete iOS port is finished.) StreetComplete also supports making photo notes which can be used with iD.
MapComplete is another easy way to add points and notes from your phone and desktop. Uniquely, it also allows you to add photos, ratings, and reviews for places. If it’s too slow on your phone, try the native version.
If you have questions, search wiki.openstreetmap.org. If you still have questions, ask on Fedi or on the OSM XMPP channel

The workshop mostly had people from non-IT backgrounds, so I was amazed by how enthusiastic they were - much more so than the usual tech crowd I teach.
They were residents of Naraina Village, which is somehow missing on every map, #OSM included. I guess the prospect of rectifying that was at least partially responsible for the enthusiasm.
Yesterday was pretty hectic. Didn’t sleep well at night, had to do a 4 hour (!!!) #OpenStreetMap workshop from 10:00 to 14:00 in a pretty distant part of the city (Naraina), then rush to a whole other edge of town (Noida) to conduct a mapping party from 16:00 to 19:00…
By the end of it all, I got a fair headache, probably from sleep deprivation. I got home at 21:00, gave the cat some food, and hit the sack immediately.

Yep, #Lokjo is based on it.
TIL there’s a “native” #MapComplete in F-Droid! And it utterly blows away the web version and the “installed” PWA in terms of responsiveness… (I tested these with Fennec)
What magic is this, @MapComplete ? 
you wouldnt download #paris.
A review of #Panoramax I have to first say that I support the effort of its contribution of #osm but this review is what I experienced after just try #Mapillary and #KartaView
1. Starting right on the capturing, my phone brightness was dim before I recorded any thing and I had to stop that dimming setting.
2. Despite no map view and very minimal, it takes long times to get GPS than the other 2
3. After each ride, my phone is completely bombed by the photos in Gallery4. (More

There's still time to submit a talk proposal for @sotmeu, which is happening in Dubdee, Scotland this November!

@maique 
I am not entirely sure how does the whole #OSM reporting work, but when I edit things there, it's changed in real time.
I guess what I'm saying is that the whole ecosystem should allow people to easily change things directly, instead of writing text reports & hoping someone else would change that for them?

@dialektgefahr eine App mit der man spielerisch die #OpenStreetMap verbesser kann.
https://streetcomplete.app/?lang=de
Es gäbe auch dieses nette Erklärvideo: https://youtu.be/cqz-7R9C1LE
Ein für viele sehr zugänglicher Weg viel zu #OSM beizutragen und sich dabei zu bewegen und Spaß zu haben(gute alternative zu #PokemonGo mMn).
