OSMF for comments.<br>

OSM US has a working group [2] that fits this. But basically: We should<br>
make sure we tag things accurately, in this case, it was with<br>
`sac_scale=demanding_alpine_hiking`. App developers need to use the<br>
data. And ideally land owners and rescuers would be involved in OSM.<br>
<br>
I don't know how to make the last one happen, I know National Trust is<br>
already involved with editing OSM [3], but what about others? How do we<br>
encourage more involvement? What convinced NT to be involved, and can<br>
we use that to convince others to become involved?<br>
