[OSM-talk] "guide to vandalism” in OSM?

[Pierre Béland]

We have to think of OSM as a global community where not all countires are equal with access to internet and computers. Often, people have smartphones and could contribute.
Adding a note with photo would greatly help. The @osmthis Twitter tag let's do this. But it is uneasy then to communicate with these persons.adding @osmthis.  The same functionality in OSM would be fantastic. But with anonymous notes, we cannot contact these people and obtain clarification.  Then the risk that notes stay open for a long period since incompleted.

I agree. Especially new notes, just wait a while until someone who maybe 
has local knowledge picks it up.
Another thought: give the possibility to add photo's to notes. That way 
you have more confirmation that there is something. You still don't know 
if it is there unless there are GPS coordinates in the picture, but it's 
something.
