My one year old Samsung Galaxy S3 has got the ability to geotag photos. If there would be an app which can use such a geotagged photo and link it to an OSM POI nearby, than I would go for that. Upload it under ODbL, no copyright issues, Cost is a secondary thing which can be solved. Cheers, Johan

While we're on the subject of building tagging: Prior to major building outline imports, OSM tended to contain mostly important or notable building outlines. People might do a business district, or the largest buildings in town, or the church, or zoo... but few did every house and garden shed.

Indeed, yet rendering issues have to work on a foundation of tagging. In the old days of paper maps a cartographer made the decisions about what's notable enough to show. Here we have to do it with tags (and consensus tags at that). To infer notability of building outlines, there are some
