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said this before, but a one-off push to update a high street's shops is unhelpful in my experience it leaves rapidly outdated data thereafter.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 maintainers not one-off projects because of the turnover rate. * Pubs - no, IMHO. OSM's got loads of pub data, largely fine already, and it's also a very "classic" OSM topic which not only has its own critical mass but also appeals only to pub-frequenting segments of society, not a good focus for making OSM useful to new appreciators.
