[Talk-GB] Notes (Was: We're missing changes...)

[Dave F]

I'm sorry to say, but I think that sounds patronising to both Note 
writers & OSM editing software.

Computers (that's what smart phones are) are used to enter the notes & 
map editing contributors need no knowledge of trig' & co-ords to draw 
dots & lines.

'encourage' includes teaching users how to use OSM software.

Cheers
