> Until we can put an address, like we can in GMaps, and get a pin in the right location

You can already do that.

Routing is in the works (see https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issue...). For now you can use http://map.project-osrm.org/ but having it in plain sight on osm.org will definitely be better


Edits are stored localy on your phone/tablet, and sent to osm (along with GPS traces you could have recorded) when you manually hit "send data" while a connection is available


Osmand (https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=net.osmand.plus) is pretty good at this

No self-hosted/FOSS alternatives. This is a bit disappointing.


I could have sworn I saw an EFF (?) link back in June (post-Snowden) containing a list of FOSS alternatives to a bunch of services (Gmail, Skype, Google Analytics), etc. For some reason I can't find it now, though - hopefully someone else has this saved somewhere.

EDIT Thanks to vezzy-fnord below: https://prism-break.org/en/

They seem to have updated their layout since then, but I'm fairly certain this is the same site that I was referring to.

What about music, sounds?
