mfs be like "born too late to explore the world 😢" does openstreetmap look complete to you? get working
@mochabeau I've been contemplating seeing how to add a bunch of local business info to OSM, but I'm worried I'm going to do that only for one business I confirm to be shuttered a few days later
@disorderlyf @mochabeau that will happen and the answer is it's fine. if someone else notices the place closed they can fix it or you can fix it the next time you're mapping around there

@disorderlyf @mochabeau then go back and map it later!

Take it from me as a long time OSMer: It's OK if something closes the next day. There's loads of stale data in OSM, we keep working on it. And we'd rather have another active OSMer in the area (you!)

@amapanda @disorderlyf @mochabeau Yeah definitely. I sometimes worry about this with shabby shops in north London looking ambiguous as to whether or not they're still operating, but it's definitely better to have a row of shops added, and later we can figure out if one of them is a "disused:shop".
@harry_wood @amapanda @disorderlyf @mochabeau in the UK we also have FHRS data that can help to altert to shops that have changed our disappeared. This can be highlighted in a couple of online tools.
