[Talk-TW] [OSM-talk] How to improve addressing?

[deng dongpo]

Hi Jeff and all
I heard that the SteveC considered an address is high priority for
making OSM more usable from Dan Cooke, who is a keynote in ACM
GeoCrowd. http://www.geocrowd.eu/workshop_2012/

Coincidentally, Taiwan OSM community is running a map contest on how
many addresses mappers make after SotM this year in Japan. This is
because a T-shit received from OSM Japan after SotM. In order to send
this T-shit to Taiwan mappers, we started the map contest.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Taiwan/2012_Competition

Few people registered this contest, but many TW mappers are attracted
to make address on the map. I would not say that this contest is
successful. At least, we encouraged more Taiwanese mappers to give
address data.

Cheers,
Dongpo
