[OSM-dev] Pl at ntNet contributing to OpenStreetMap

[Hugo Gresse]

Thank you everyone for the detailed answer.

As it seems it is the general consensus, I'm putting the feature on hold 
until we are able to distinguish tree from other plants and propose the 
feature only for tree (in coordination with a OSM editor), probably 
until next year.


Take care
