[OSM-talk-be] Fast Map Application for personal notes instead of using osm note as personal agenda.

[joost schouppe]

Most Belgian users are seeing the website in their own language, right?
I recently changed the duplicate "Mijn opmerkingen", which was used both
for Notes and Diary comments. Diary comments are now marked as "Mijn
reacties". I just made the change (which was later improved upon) through
translatewiki.net . I didn't think of any mailing list where you should
discuss this in advance. Woops?
If anyone feels like getting OSM to change the name of "Notes", go ahead.
I'll pass on that one. But changing the translation will be easier.

In Dutch it is now called "Opmerkingen bij kaarten". Maybe we should change
that to "Fout melden"?

In French it's "Notes de carte". Any suggestion for improvement there?

We might have a quick revert there from the French community if we just go
ahead. And we could get in touch with the Dutch community too if we agree
on an alternative.


To answer the original question, I see two options:

- have them use the Question mark to see what's there. Then they can pick
the object they want, and send a link like this one instead:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/99064449
The same can be achieved using the Data layer

- refer them to a service like Umap
<http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/new/> , where you can make a simple
map in seconds, without having to log in.

But of course, the harm is already done by that time.

Also, I would like to use this moment to apologize for my personal abuse of
Notes as a personal reminder of things I need to fix later.
