Everything #OpenStreetMap related is welcome: software releases, showing of your work, questions about how to tag something, as long as it has to do with OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap-related software.

OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license.

https://mapcomplete.org/ is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)

[…] Let’s wait until anything actually changes officially […]

Hm, I would argue that there is no such thing as "officially" in regards to OpenStreetMap. Or are you referring to the name "Gulf of America" changing officially in the USA?
