I agree trying to close notes would probably not be a good project - it should

I'll throw one in early for Q2: campsites, hostels and bunkhouses. OSM
coverage is oddly patchy and it would be great to encourage better coverage

Certainly round Nottingham many Notes persist because they remain relevant.
In Tendring poleclimber adds notes from planning applications. New notes
tend to get looked at by someone present on the osm-gb IRC channel within a
short time of them appearing and spurious ones get closed.

We could also improve street name etymology. For instance the new
"Derbyshire Way" in Coventry could be tagged:
etymology = Delia Derbyshire
etymology:wikidata = Q29544
It would be good to improve the road names. I feel it is easier to do the
survey that is needed to weed out the rather odd 'errors' that pepper the OS
Locator when the days are longer.

How about streets and their names ?
According to the ITO OSM analysis, at 24/11/2016, compared to OS
Locator, there were 17,687 missing major roads. The UK is 97.8%
complete, only 16 out of 408 areas are 100% complete, and in the last
month only 68 were added.
The ITO tool is available to
Nice ideas. My thoughts:
* GLAMs seems a well-defined, well-scoped and accessible task, I like it!
* Shops - no, IMHO. I've said this before, but a one-off push to
update a high street's shops is unhelpful in my experience it leaves
rapidly outdated data thereafter. Shops data needs local
I'd vote for the pubs one, spurred on by the poor dataset that maths team
used to find the pub crawl: it missed about 10 pubs near me, all long
established. Now if they'd used OSM for the dataset and the mapping...

All great ideas. The trick for Q1 is to find one that will work well in the
cold weather. I'm not sure I know the answer to that but the idea of doing
Fixmes and Notes is interesting - it could through up literally anything! I
will probably learn a great deal from doing that one.
Best regards,
My vote goes to clearing up Notes and FIXMEs. Last time I looked the UK had
one of the poorest clearup rates of Notes.

Upon reading that my first thought was actually "checking all of the
wikidata references that have been added by people not necessarily
familiar with the area".
See, for example, the discussion on
I'd like to float the following ideas for quarterly projects, and see what
folk think.

could turn points into ploygons, add names, URLs, street addresses,
Wikidata items, and other info.
