There seem to be people already interested in improving the data quality of these new POIs. For example, I noticed this user in my area http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Dafmaster/history -- new as of late last month, with ~100 edits adding addresses, phone numbers, websites, yelp links, and other tags as appropriate. I've seen other users doing quality control too--some new, some with thousands of OSM edits over 5+ years. And many of the nodes seem to be originally contributed by long-time mappers, and well-tagged to begin with. --Andrew _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
