Slightly off topic and maybe better as an Ask HN, but here goes.

There are apps for updating OSM that will let me put in the information for the houses in my neighborhood, for example, but that gets tedious. Are there any scripts (python, shell, ?) that would make that easier?

I used StreetComplete when I had an Android phone. It looks for missing data near you, and gives you a really nice interface to input that data.

They are working on an iOS build, and I can't wait to start using it again.
