[talk-au] OSM Notes

[Graeme Fitzpatrick]

Thanks fellas!

I understand if it's very low on the priority list! :-)

One other aspect of it to think about though ...

Looking at the list of Notes, there are a number of entries going back
several years, where people have provided details to "Please list my
business", but they haven't yet been mapped :-(

Yep, well & truly aware that this is coming from a third party source, but
we're always saying we want more people out there interacting with, &
suggesting, OSM.

If we haven't listed that business 5-6 years after they asked us to, are
they likely to be using or recommending OSM?

Thanks

Graeme
