Hello World

[Michal Migurski]

Hi everyone!

Richard explained that this is the right place to be for discussions of site design.

I have had a rolling, low-level conversation with Mikel about his desire for social features on OSM and I'd like to gauge interest here. I am a fan of ad-hoc, hashtag-style socialization (as used on Twitter or the free creation of new IRC channels on Freenode), and I believe that such an approach might work well for OSM if integrated into the site proper.

I have some code which parses and indexes hashtags for changesets, hastily assembled for this weekend's Editathon:
	https://github.com/migurski/OSM.org-hashtags

You can see the output here:
	http://osm-tags.teczno.com/tag/editathon?callback=do_stuff
	http://osm-tags.teczno.com/tag/hotosm?callback=do_stuff

I imagine a new set of pages on OSM.org, keyed on tags and integrating tagged changesets, notes, and comments streams from logged-in users.

-mike.
