Development Seed - user survey results

R RobJN Public Seen by 342

Development Seed have done some research into what users want. It is based on a small sample but a lot of what they find I connect to.

Am interested in how we can support here. Post AGM I want to bring back the idea of a "Crap Map" to show some of the mapping gaps.

I found this very insightful too and I thnk it could be a useful guide as to how we go about making new users more "sticky"

I don't think this is what you mean at all Rob, but are you aware of Worst of OSM.

Some of the things in that diary entry are touching on what my workshop might have included. E.g. for Missing Maps sessions I will carefully select a task so I can explain what it's purpose is (wish more had good descriptions!), and I will also spend prep time splitting the squares down to be smaller then direct people to do those ones.

On the other things, the UK really needs to get back to having a strong informal community again. More of the things like the pub meetups to share stories.
