[OSM-talk] Street Complete

[Bjoern Hassler]

Dear all,

I'd like to commend Tobias for his work on StreetComplete. I was delighted
when I first found it, because it's straight forward to use, and let's
people who aren't experienced mappers contribute data to OSM (which is
surely in our interest) in a very structured way (which is surely also in
our interest).

The play store says "StreetComplete (Unreleased) / This is an unreleased
app. It may be unstable.", so clearly the app isn't as complete as the
developer would like. I'm happy to help out if I can do so in some way.

Tobias - well done!
Bjoern
