I’d think, that that tool is “too early” for our mapped (trully unmapped…) surroundings.
We have damn good results with our OSM non government organization in Poland. Now we plan to organize round table with companies, and organizations with the target to push osm in Poland.
We got in last years donations, e.g. GPS devices and many invitations for presentations for teaching about OSM.
Now we more and more areas which are trully good mapped. For example: we are in contact with some taxi companies. They collect the house numbers for us.
Should I visit you and report about our experiences?
Sounds good. For now, I’d no experience with conversations with any organisations about topic, even Ukraine wikipedians have little knowledge about OSM. May be anyone here have more suggestions with OSM PR in Ukaine?!

For your information:
We would like to inform you of the availability of a new JOSM plugin called "OSMantic” that automatically suggests tags during the editing process [1]. The plugin aims to both provide a better user experience and enhance the quality of OSM data by helping users discover new tags relevant for the objects being edited.
This plugin is part of a research project conducted at Memorial University, Canada. The study involves tests of the plugin by the user community (you!) followed by a quick feedback. The plugin and the tests will be reported in a chapter of a forthcoming book titled “OpenStreetMap in GIScience: Experiences, Research, Applications” [2].
It would be great if you could spend a few minutes to test this plugin and report on your experience.
You can easily add the plugin to the interface by enabling it through the JOSM preferences
Edit → Preferences → Plugin : Search: Semantic
At the end of your test, please spend a few minutes filling the very short questionnaire to report on your experience with the plugin [3]. The link to the questionnaire is also displayed on the plugin interface.
Thank you and don’t hesitate to email us directly if you have questions (a.vandecasteele@mun.ca). The more people will do this, the best it will be for our study.
Arnaud Vandecasteele and Rodolphe Devillers
