Another possible reason is that non-anonymous notes tend to be from more 
experienced users who leave easier to interpret notes. In that case, 
there's not much to be done aside from normal measures to guide people 
to mapping and try to make people return visitors. The solution to 
inexperience is practice.

Similarly a note where the user *left* contact info may be a note they are
*more* engaged in.

This could be resolved with A-B testing.  Offer 50% of the anonymous
traffic a heavier notes form and see what it does to engagement, quality
and closability.  I'd be more likely to leave a note on a more
complete/credible form, but that's just me.  I think a comment back from a
mapper saying 'we fixed that' is a *huge incentive *to return to OSM again
to see what took place.

Are notes more-likely to be resolved when a dialogue is possible
(non-anonymous)?  If the data suggests, for example, that anonymous
notes typically take 3 months to resolve, and non-anonymous notes take
36 hours, perhaps that would be sufficient motivation for a note
author to leave contact information.

The breaking point might not be non- vs. anonymous, but might be
non-anonymous and with a responsive author vs. other notes.  And it
might be difficult to determine when a note is closed with no action
vs. when a note is closed because it lead to a positive change to the
database.  Are people mentioning notes in their changesets?

So I guess my question is, what ages are notes when they are closed?  :-)

[OSM-talk] New statistics on volume of note creation and closing

2015-02-26 Thread Bryce Nesbitt
In light of the discussion the volume and quality of note and fixme items,
Pascal Neis
has whipped up some nice long term data for notes.  Hopefully corresponding
data on fixme
will be possible in the future.

I feel that asking note writers to do more, and to optionally leave contact
info,
will not significantly reduce note volume.

No one's holding you back from proposing (or making) code changes, are they?
