[OSM-talk] iD name suggestion index - asking non-English-speaking mappers to review

[nebulon42]

Another thing. Is this still active? There hasn't been much activity 
lately and it has also open pull requests that could have been merged 
already. I'm just asking because I spotted some things to correct, but I 
want to make sure that I do not waste my time because a pull request 
might not get merged.

Still, quite useful project!
