@harry_wood Thanks for your great #sotmeu25 talk on #OSM notes. Could you remind me of the hashtag(s) for OSM notes needing a survey? And do you know rough numbers (UK and/or worldwide for such open notes? I'd like to add them to https://osm.mathmos.net/survey/ . Do you have any suggestions for extracting them through the API? (Docs suggest a limit of 10000 notes returned, and 25 sq degs if limited by BB.)

@rjw62@en.osm.town Well... I was mentioning "#SurveyNeeded" which OSMBelgium were using, but actually it turns out #surveyme is significantly more popular even within worldwide stats. SurveyNeeded has 708 over all time, 188 currently open. surveyme has 6042 over all time, 2312 currently open. With a UK bbox only 3 notes use SurveyNedeed (all open still!) versus surveyme 2881 (1124 open). Then there's people mentioning "needs survey" with a space. 1138 in the uk (292 open)
