<div dir="ltr">I actually reached out to ChrisEspectato (via an OSM account message) on 21 February to ask about the purpose of the notes. If I haven't heard back after some time I was planning on going through and closing the notes. With the anonymous notes, reaching out isn't possible. I think it's good to close some of the notes in the manner you mention.<div><br></div><div>There are certainly some notes leftover from Yolanda that could be resolved (because they are no longer relevant or do not contain enough detail). On a side note, there are also many tags related to the Yolanda response that could be 'archived' or removed. Unfortunately this sort of cleanup work tends to be a lot less interesting than adding new details and features to the map. </div><div><br></div><div>All the best,</div><div>Dan</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 7:17 AM, Pierre Béland <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pierzenh@yahoo.fr" target="_blank">pierzenh@yahoo.fr</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div>There is a discussion today on the general talk list about anonymous OSM notes.</div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr">The Yolanda / Haiyan Activation is an example where such info could have helped if more infos provided and the possibility to interact with the person adding such note.
