[Talk-GB] We're missing changes to M1 Junction 36 which have apparently been in place for a year.

You can get an RSS feed to keep an eye on the in your area at 
https://tyrasd.github.io/osm-qa-feeds/

There's also one for the UK:

I think a quarterly project on notes would be good for the summer, while 
people are more likely to be out and about to survey issues raised by 
the notes.

Not sure of the need for an app, as the OSM website is good enough for 
finding notes near you or wherever you are visiting. At least they are 
more accessible than the fixme tag - a lot of which could be moved into 
notes so they are visible to more people.
