[OHM] What's new in OHM?

[Jo Walsh]

Thank you for taking the time for the pointers, Jeff.

I see a small collection of high-level issues at
https://github.com/OpenHistoricalMap/OpenHistoricalMap/issues/ (though
items titled "Investigate..." may be unhelpfully high-level ;)

As well as the detail on the website and API here, including the request
to limit API contributions to items tagged with a start_date
https://github.com/OpenHistoricalMap/ohm-website/issues/11

I personally don't feel you're missing organisational tools, just as you
point out, the time to curate and present what you've already got. A
"State of Open Historical Map" update post to submit to weeklyosm and
other places sounds good to me.
