concerning clearing up all the outstanding OSM Notes in Colombia.
Strangely enough, I've been working on clearing them around the GC
over the last several days, & thought, good on 'em, why don't we do
the same?
According to Pascal, there are currently ~4500 open Notes across
Australia, but the creation of new ones seems to be smashing the pace
at which they're resolved:

Looking at open notes only:
https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-notes-country-custom?c=Australia&query=open
<https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-notes-country-custom?c=Australia&query=open>
they go all the way back to 2013! Just glancing at them though, most
of them could probably just be closed, as the "problem" is already
mapped, there's not enough detail / info to resolve it & so on?
So, what do we all think?
As I said, I've cleared almost all of the GC, except for a few that
need further work / survey. How would we like to do things - work on
our own local areas / go through the list from old > new or vice versa
/ pick random items?
I have a few OSM projects ... not likely to add another one :)
At the moment I am detailing hospitals in NSW, add missing ones when I
find them .. Using the DCS Base map and Imagery as my source, but going
through a list from NSW Health (yes copy write, but I use it as a prompt
to find them on the DCS base map). I probably have a few more days on
this. Then I'll pick up the next 'most useful thing' to map.
I also 'patrol' the OSM Inspector QA too for areas, Australia wide, and
routes, Sydney centric but includes India Pacific etc. I either fix
these or contact the mapper or sometimes both, depends on the mapper and
frequency of error.
I do occasionally use 'Keep right' QA tool too .. but only locally ..
too many problems to remove them all even locally.
Good luck to those that chose to help. The UK has far more mappers per
unit area then we do so there are more hands to do things, so don't be
too disheartened by any comparison, we do very well considering the
number of mappers and the total area. .
