Just a super quick question about helping to update the map locations.
Between StreetComplete and Organic Maps, which is faster for submitting recommended changes to the OSM team in regards to things like business hours, etc…

I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone talking about “StreetComplete Expert Edition” (SCEE) which I find to be the best middle ground between usability and control (you can directly edit tags but also have all the quests StreetComplete offer plus a few more)

I suspect that’s because if you read the post it looks like OP is a beginner and not an experienced editor.
Vespucci, JOSM and level0 aren’t getting mentioned either because they aren’t the best starting points.
Basically yes. I have contributed a few times when I thought about it, but then go long stretches between contributions. But it’s only now that I’m trying to make a conscious effort TO think about it more once I downloaded organic maps so I could move away from Google.
I’ve always had the opinion that if you use an FOSS product, the “cost” is in “contribution”; which doesn’t have to be monetary (though I often do). The payment for using a FOSS app (to me) is to contribute in terms of either helping to develop it, or writing user manuals for it (I helped with LibreOffice Documentation back in the day) or even creating tutorials or recording tutorials, or even just championing it’s use to your friends and family.
Moving away from Google I realized that I had been negligent in that with OSM. I’ve contributed to most of mybigger ones (GIMP, Scribus, Inkscape, LibreOffice, etc…) But OSM just fell under the radar. So I’m trying to correct that by making a point of contributing to the data as much as I can.
