[OSM-talk] Paper/Article about stagnation in OSM

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

Yes, I agree, - Share/Short Link is a great feature. I assume it is kind 
of an implementation of Geohash [1]. Both the Geohash and the 3-Words 
transmit just a location, the same as coordinates. 3-Words could be at 
least in Cyrillic letters.

If I point just to a location of an apartment or an office, it could be 
in fact several apartments or offices in a multilevel building. With 
modern databases it could be possible to include some additional textual 
information to make it a real address for many people.

I like Geohash approach more than 3-Words, besides it is in public 
domain. In principle it should be possible to transliterate the geohash 
on the fly by a program into Cyrillic or other scripts' letters. So it 
could be transmitted via telephone; there is a phonetic alphabet for 
Cyrillic letters too.
