Here's a pull request to fix that.

https://github.com/mozilla/mozillians/pull/999

I'm not sure I like it, maybe you have more ideas?

We could make a link to

http://www.openstreetmap.org/note/new#map={zoom}/{latitude}/{longitude}&layers=N

example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/note/new#map=13/-38.9553/-68.0543&layers=N

I like this idea.

Where would this link be placed?

Inner monologue: "Just below the map might do. We could add it to that little text blurb that gives credits to the map data sources -- oh. I guess Mapbox added that while we were asleep last night."

That location looks good to me!

Matt and I talked about this yesterday. Mapbox's method is to send users to OSM's page for creating an account and then editing the map themselves. I think that raises the barrier a lot compared to linking them to the Notes page as I suggested in comment #2 which allows anonymous user submissions.

Comment 8

[Giorgos Logiotatidis [:giorgos]]

I see three options here:
 1. Comment #1 which links to wiki
 2. Comment #2 which links to OSM notes page
 3. A combination of (1) and (2)

:williamr, can you pick a solution and also update if needed the link text?

Comment 9

[Giorgos Logiotatidis [:giorgos]]

Resetting assigner to default until we figure the direction this will take.

For future reference we do have some code here https://github.com/mozilla/mozillians/pull/999

Comment 10

[William Reynolds [:williamr]]

Let's do a combination of (1) and (2) from comment 8.

Suggested text:
[Improve this map] ([learn more])

[Improve this map] links to the anonymous note page linked in comment 2 that has the lat/lng.

[learn more] links to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mozillians/Locations

I have updated the wiki page to explain the difference between the easy anonymous notes and there are also steps for the detailed notes that require an account.

[William Reynolds [:williamr]]

Wray, here's an enhancement ready to work on.

* URLs redirect to the correct sites.
