I have heard a few times recently about what3words, a new novel coordinate/addressing system for the whole world.

Could/should we be doing anything to support/facilitate/implement this system in OSM?


No. Other people might talk about the numerous problems how what3words doesn't do what it claims to accomplish or flaws in the technical implementation, but there's a much simpler reason why it doesn't belong on osm.org: It's a closed proprietary system that others can't reuse.
