Map things which I wrote about

• Visiting Baarle-Hertog/Nassau
• Translating OSM UI to Maldivian Dhivehi
• OSM and non-OSM distortions on the Chinese border
• Where people tag Living Streets in the US
• What is going on with Arabic in OSM iD?
• Map renders on the Cyprus border

Future map interests

• Encouraging more map translations, local adoption, 25% threshold
• Supporting campaigns to tag streetscapes, floodplain agriculture, refugee and displaced locations
• There is a particular Arabic script ligature which doesn’t render properly in Noto (seen in central Erbil / Hawler) so the map tile looks weird
• Improving OSM UI language select for multi-auto-suggest instead of typing ISO codes
