[OSM-newbies] [research survey] Your perspective in editing OpenStreetMap

[Giovanni Quattrone]

Hi Charlotte,

Yes, as you wrote, the research I'm personally doing is to have some

geographic crowd-sourcing communities, with the best tools to facilitate
and optimise user coordination.

Thanks for your feedback and apologise again for the off-topic thread,
Giovanni
