"Keep it in the Community" - third party project to mapp communicty map community assets in the UK
Hi there,
I'm not affiliated with MySociety.org, but I admire their work and have subscribed to their newsletter. They've set up a new project which aims to get the public to submit information about "Assets of Community Value" (ACV). It looks like this will involve getting the public to submit potential ACVs, and importing lists maintained by local councils.

ACVs might include Church Halls, Pubs, Libraries, etc. If an asset is an acknowledged ACV, that seems to mean that developers are restricted (in some way) from certain changes. Sorry to be vague.
It looks like the site they've created uses an OSM slippy map as a background, but that they're maintaining their own set of ACVs.
It would be better (in my view) if their submissions were properly added to OSM, with a tag that offers their ACV status.
Is there someone or some "official" OSM group who could reach out to MySociety to suggest ways their ACV data could be incorporated into OSM for mutual benefit?
