Comment on Why Book Corners won't sync contributions back to OpenStreetMap parent

No work hours of Starbucks, no local dining cafe, no menu contributions.

This moves the goal posts of OSM

Well, those things can be added:

    - opening_hours=*
    - amenity=cafe
    - website:menu=*

But they can easily become outdated again. Still, local QA via StreetComplete, MapComplete, EveryDoor and a multitude of other apps is always needed.

It is a very good point though, Honestly we should have tried to solve that. It is badly needed in a map nowdays. At the moment there is no way to map or display these things and I think there should be.

How so? They have a way of storing that specific information, so why shouldn't we (in part) judge it by the completeness of the information they allow people to store?
