[Osmf-talk] Anonymous notes on osm.org

[Hugo Holscher]

I was more thinking  of a checklist kind of help. That suggestion is also 
somewhere in this thread.

List like:
0 Road blocked (temporarily)
0 No access for ....
0 No left/right turn
0 ....

As usual we also need other, then a suggestion that at least  15 characters 
in the description are needed.

Where I am unsure about is the way the Anonymous user get triggered to do 
what. MapDust seems to have a simple system from the iPhone, Do we envisage 
something similar, or do people have to go to a website, do we employ Apps 
like OSMAND or our own app for that (lot's of fun to get such an app 
approved by Apple :)).

A blocking of bugs that have the help message just submitted would be 
useful:

e.g. on Mapdust the first bug I've looked at is:

Description: Please let the OSM mappers know more useful information about 
the bug. Without proper information, they will not be able to solve the 
issue.
