Hi Peter and Ian,

Congratulations on getting selected! Unfortunately HOT did make it on
its first attempt, but we'll try again next year. In the mean time we
would like to add one or two ideas to your list since they are OSM
related:

https://github.com/hotosm/HOT-Project-Ideas/issues/15
https://github.com/hotosm/HOT-Project-Ideas/issues/7

Unless there are any concerns, I will add them to the wiki page here:
