[OSM-talk] Storing extensive notes on points of interest in OSM?

[Gregory]

I think it's a great idea.
I think I've added some description= but can't remember what.

It would be along the lines of "really muddy path, better to go the other
way"
note= I leave for other mappers.

Personally I prefer the additional information appearing on the left (like
you have for walking routes) than a popup.

Sometimes I think it may also be nice to have something like this happening
if you were just viewing something on the map. Only examples I can think of
are "Note: this area is not completed to the East" and "Note: The towns in
this area are also known by Turkish names, view the map at www.... to see an
alternative version".

...What about also "See how complete the area of this map is by reading
wiki.osm/area_project"
then would "Someone is living here only using this map and mapping the city
on his own see LivingwithDragons.com to track progress" be acceptable and
not just an advert?

I'm doing a lot of thinking on the spot while typing, I'll leave it there.
