BUT …. now all the extant OpenStreetBugs Notes have migrated over , some of which are YEARS old, it’s all getting a bit crowded and hard to differentiate new notes.


Most of the migrated notes (such as e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/note/110664 ) presumably "just" need a ground survey - so I guess that's the easiest way to reduce "note congestion"!

...

So I have a proposal whereby notes are differentiated by age, gradually fading in colour as they age until they turn white , (much like us really!)

So for example new notes get a bright colour on the day they’re created, then fade at week, month, 3 month, 6 month old until they become white after a year. I’m sure that to those who code such things this is not a major task



It's an interesting idea, but if that was done on the main osm.org website I'd imagine that it would get a bit confusing, like the "multicolour GPS traces" in iD that sound like a good idea if you're a web developer, but I find mostly unusable within iD (compared to Potlatch's approach), although the underlying GPS tile layer is useful if you're out and about and trying to work out whether there are already traces for X or Y footpath.

Cheers,

Andy
