<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">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...<br>
<br>
And let people decide whether it is useful for them or not.<br>

Yes and no. OSM is not just an open database where everything can be
stored for any purpose.<br>
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.<br>

Perfect Pieren ! <br>
<br>
(I indeed used OpenStreetBug when I was starting, on the 15th) <br>
<br>
If it could just be renamed, I bet it could be very useful for this
kind of purpose...<br>
<br>
(Is there a limit on number of caracters that can be entered ?)<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
Thanks !<br>
