A talk / discussion about "Notes". Do you ever use this OpenStreetMap feature? More people should! (mappers and newcomers), but we see some problems. Sometimes the remedy may be to just to think about them differently. Let's learn to love Notes!
Briefly introducing Notes for those that don't know (More people should know about this feature!) and presenting some thoughts on the different types of Notes that we see (maybe inviting audience participation and/or advanced submission of notes in various categories) Thinking about whether/how we might actually categorise them. Discussing some thoughts on the problems we see with notes, and some recommendations for the right way to work with Notes and think about Notes. Also "Notathon" events, existing tools for working with notes, and possibly some ideas for new tools.
