- McDyver 3y agoI would also mention Street Complete, as the companion app to contribute all that data. https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete

Check out the OSM Community Index [0], or the (multilingual) Discourse [1], or feel free to reach out to me if you want to learn more about engaging with OSM!
