    So I'd say : if everybody is needing a central billboard where
    they can pin their localized notes themselves, why not let it be
    known that OSM can do it ? Especially if they already have it with
    them on their GPS or iPhones...

    And let people decide whether it is useful for them or not.


Yes and no. OSM is not just an open database where everything can be stored for any purpose. If you need a billboard with a map as background, we have already this type of application. It's called openstreetbug ([1]). It's used at the moment to pinpoint map errors but it could be easily renewed with another name or temporarily extended to the usage you are looking for. It has to most simple interface, you don't have to register, you can remove the notes when they are solved but they are stored in a separate database.

Perfect Pieren !

(I indeed used OpenStreetBug when I was starting, on the 15th)

If it could just be renamed, I bet it could be very useful for this kind of purpose...

(Is there a limit on number of caracters that can be entered ?)

I could enter the couple of hospital request I saw on CR as exemples. (One was more than 255 caracters, but I reduced it to this without problem).

Thanks !
