- Book Corners planned to contribute user-submitted libraries back to OpenStreetMap (OSM) as a fair gesture.
- The intended workflow included explicit user consent, admin review, duplicate detection, and preview before submission.
- Implementing the OSM write-back required far more than an API call: it demanded an import plan, community discussion, licensing clarity, and ongoing maintenance.
- The OSM community's strict rules exist to protect data quality, but the operational burden outweighed the value for a small project like Book Corners.
