Does it? I still cant see that it does not work as intendet. It was
basically an integration of the former separat built OSMBugs. That
was integrated and by naming it Notes the scope was widened. That
was IMHO very intentional as the entry barrier should be really low.
We had other users of OSM Data which had similar feedback mechanisms
which were a lot worse in their signal to noise ratio - OSM Notes
for me is a very valuable tool and i dont see the problem.
If nonsensical notes come up i'll close them - its that easy.
You cant do that in a one-man-show for whole of Germany or Europe
but typically i watch a region of 500K residents and the number
of obscure and nonsensical notes is negligible.
The bigger problem i have with notes is Mappers closing them
without commenting whether they did something and what. So every
note from me which get closed i reopen in Josm and check what has
been done.
Even when i close a nonsensical note i dont write 3.1415926 in them
but i write
"A pure number is without context and we cant interpret it to extent
or improve the map. If you habe more context what this number means
please reopen".
Costs me just 2 seconds but everyone involved understands why i closed
that bug and that its not a fight but the lack of context/information.
