Organizing OpenStreetMap Mapping Parties
StreetComplete is fun, because it's heavily gamified. An alternative would be EveryDoor [1] if you want to add specific stuff somewhere instead of having the app ask you questions.

OpenStreetMap is in trouble – a critical take on Bing Map Builder
Yes, I agree that data balkanization represents a significant hindrance for further development of openstreetmap. Fifteen or so years ago I was experimenting with importing DEM files from the US into Blender for landscaping, and finding the data was frustrating. Sometimes the data was available at a state website, other times at a federal website, sometimes also available on the website of that mapping program. Surveys within a given geopolitical constraint would be found on the website of whichever department provided the funding. I understanding that, even if ignoring legal realities, merging this data into a single "ground" (heh) truth would be a herculean task, scientifically. But there was no common database or delivery method. Some departments would link to FTP sites, other would provide arcgis downloads via an interactive web tool. I'd have to depend on user-maintained blog posts to even find the data. And the best data was always locked away behind secure portals that I couldn't get access to.
Nowadays openstreetmap is running into the same problem at the municipality level. In the US, if I understand correctly, geographic data is under copyright to whichever governing entity and not eligible for import into openstreetmap.
Take for example the excellent app Every Door (https://github.com/Zverik/every_door) with a focus on easily adding building information. In the US, openstreetmap has no address information. Either that or very little address information - but none in my area. So it'd be easy for me to add building nodes with house numbers but I won't be doing that. Not only is it a massive commitment, but the data is already available at openaddresses.io. The catch? It's "probably" license-compatible with openstreetmap. Before merging, all that data would have to be reviewed by a team of lawyers. That's not something a software developer can help with.
In existing threads here, a top complaint about OsmAnd is that lack of address information. Try planning a route without addresses, and without constantly switching to Google Maps to convert address to coordinates. Not very user friendly! Opensupermaps (https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation) is a user-maintained merge of openstreetmaps and openaddresses.io, but it doesn't integrate with OsmAnd's data update system.
And that's how data balkanization is breaking openstreetmap, right now.

If you haven't already, check out the new addresses overlay in StreetComplete v48; it's awesome!
You might be forced to use Vespucci or Every Door.

Show HN: A map that tells you if a NYC cafe has WiFi, a restroom, and an outlet
Such a niche map is something that is very hard to pull of. You need a community of millions to contribute geodata, so if such a map is not based on OpenStreetMap, it is destined to whither after a few years.
But, don't fret. This is precisely why I made https://mapcomplete.org, where you can create niche maps based on OpenStreetMap. This jumpstarts general information but has the possibility to add very niche questions. The added bonus is that, when you add e.g. a cafe, it'll be available in all other maps as well.
For this topic, I've added a filter to filter on 'has internet access'. I also added the question if a cafe offers electricity, but those haven't been marked in NYC yet; so here is a map with all cafes offering internet access: https://mapcomplete.org/cafes_and_pubs.html?z=9.8&lat=40.697...
Browsing can be done without an account, contributing requires an OSM-account.

Public restrooms are hard to find in America. That’s a problem
For those who want to help out with adding all public toilets to OpenStreetMap: I made a website to make this easy: https://mapcomplete.org/toilets
You can see all toilets without an account and add a missing toilet or update information with a free/libre OpenStreetMap-account. Adding information also means it'll get picked up eventually by many of the navigation apps out there (such as Maps.me, Organic Maps, OsmAnd, nearly all of the cycle+pedestrian route planners, ...).
And there are many other thematic maps - a template system makes them easy to setup: https://mapcomplete.org/

Happy Birthday OpenStreetMap
Just want to point out that this user is the creator of the wonderful tool MapComplete (https://mapcomplete.osm.be) which helps you adding more information to the data available in the OSM database. If you have some free time and have local knowledge of your area, I really suggest giving this tool a try, you can choose between multiple themes (which will show different quests) and add info that you know the most.
- What is the best app through which I can contribute to Open Street Maps?

OpenStreetMap is in trouble - a critical review of Microsoft's 'Bing Map Builder'
They aim for a simple (aka reduced) editor to use - if they work out some of the technical issues - they kind of deliver that promise. But of course, I like MapComplete more as "simple editor". (Disclaimer: that's what I made)

OpenStreetMap is in trouble – a critical take on Bing Map Builder
The reason that I haven't pursued a gamification approach with https://mapcomplete.osm.be is twofold:
- I'm focusing on other usability issues (and features) first
What are some alternatives?
StreetComplete - Easy to use OpenStreetMap editor for Android
openstreetmap-statistics - Monthly updated interactive statistics about OpenStreetMap.
app - Prototype toolkit for sustainable urban design at the speed of thought.
openaedmap-frontend - Map which shows locations of defibrillators (AEDs) and allows adding new ones.
App Manager - A full-featured package manager and viewer for Android
Jellyfin - The Free Software Media System
overpass-turbo - A web based data mining tool for OpenStreetMap using the Overpass API.

PhotoMap - App for Nextcloud, that shows geotagged photos on a map
