I'm sorry to say, but I think that sounds patronising to both Note writers & OSM editing software.

Computers (that's what smart phones are) are used to enter the notes & map editing contributors need no knowledge of trig' & co-ords to draw dots & lines.

'encourage' includes teaching users how to use OSM software.

I think we should be encouraging those who add notes to contribute directly
to the do-ocracy that is OSM. Quite a few notes take longer to type than
actually editing the problem they are highlighting.

I think that you underestimate the problem for someone who knows little
of computers, has no knowledge of coordinates and trigonomentry, and
has minimal understanding of maps.

I strongly suspect that most OSM contributers have far more education than 
average.
