[OSM-talk] POI display on osm.org

[Martijn van Exel]

I think Serge was focusing on a human-readable summary of changesets,
but his code may be usable for creating a more human-friendly POI
inspector.
My 2¢ for taking this from good to great:

* Restrict to POIs and buildings with POI-type tags. Metadata for
streets is much less useful for the general public. Additionally I
could envisage a nerd mode where everything-inspection would be
enabled.
* Only enable at zoom 16+
* Perhaps some (increased) amount of buffering so users don't have to
click exactly on the POI icon.
* Make it human-readable as discussed.
* JOSM / Potlatch link for logged-in users. Some other unobtrusive 'I
know something about this POI that's not on the map, show me how to
add' link for anonymous users.

Great stuff, this.
