Hi,

We are using the Damn project to solve notes, which is very helpful.

We want to take a step forward and create a methodology to solve notes =
in real-time. I mean, while people are on the ground, they create notes, =
and armchair volunteers can solve them or ask questions with comments =
about the notes.

We see the DAMN project could help us with this. Our idea is that when =
one =E2=80=9Clocks=E2=80=9D an area in JOSM, the DAMN plugin =
automatically and periodically downloads the notes in that area. This =
way, the mapper can continue mapping in JOSM and receive updates on the =
notes in its area without switching to another application (browser, RSS =
feeder). When the mapper clicks on Done or To review, the refresh =
mechanism is stopped. This also prevents people working on the same note =
or people continuously looking for updates in other tools (RSS, etc.), =
and everything is on JOSM.
This scenario is very appropriate for disaster response or when having a =
mapping party with people on the ground and people on computers.

We see that notes could enable this communication channel, and DAMN can =
be a mechanism to register and activate it.

Please let me know what you think.
