Quarterly Project 2021Q4
Anyone have any thoughts on topics for the next quarter? It'll be October/November/December so probably best to have a topic that we can do remote, with the colder weather. There are some good topics mentioned in the past [1] [2], that we may want to do this time. We could also revisit old projects if there is interest in doing that.

Open Data file found by eteb3 helps with former which is also an area of POIs still with lacunae. Retail & Pubs have been done to death as projects & dont work at all for areas which are well mapped, whereas locating minor churches, mosques etc is still worth doing

There was a brief burst of interest around recycling centres back in March so we should look to continue this.

I think we need some on the ground mapping this quarter, Places of Worship will hopefully clear up a few nameless objects (Robert Whittaker's site says there are 3926 nameless). Pubs and Retail might still be a bit changeable, but FHRS might help there. Waste and Recycling needs a better explanation of the task.

There has been high rates of churn in retail recently. Can we have clarity of marking empty shops - node with shop=vacant??

Ranked based on what needs most work manually - lots of retail churn over the pandemic so lots of resurveying needed.

My hunch is pubs stand the best chance of engagement from people who aren't regular mappers: lots of folk are concerned at their local eatery closing up, and would be pleased to get it on the map as soft advertising if it's still going.
Retail needs lots of ground survey, and there's a lot of churn to deal with.
Places of worship would be better done when/if the GRO dataset becomes usable.

Have been working on building https://openwastemap.uk and it would be great to see some more data updated on OSM to update the map

A lot of change to retail during COVID era. Now may be time things are stabilising.
