[OSM-talk] Things People Say

[Nick Hocking]

I'd like to see the main page "induce" people to contribute by
becomimg local mappers.

I.E The main page would have a world OSM map (such as on  the
informationfreeway site) where density is colour coded and shows
how good, or bad, we are in a particular area.

The caption could read along the lines of

"Are you on the map? - click where you live to find out"

Then, so long as the zooming is really fast they will not be able
to stop themselves zooming in to their street.

When zoomed in there we could ask


"Well, is your street there?  --
 If not, you can click HERE to easily add it now"

" If you street is there - could it be improved?  -
 If so, maybe click HERE"

"If your street is perfect then maybe you could add a post box,
 house number or something else of interest - click HERE"

etc,... etc....

Yes, I know it sounds corny, but once you have convinced someone
that they can actually improve there own street/area, they are sunk
  - they're an OSM mapper for life!
