This might be a good case for building an Ushahidi instance

I think this is a good idea but have some suggested considerations.
If I remember correctly, MapRoulette 2 has the ability to localize the
challenge, correct? If/when is that available I think that would be a great

around me and that was about 1/2 dozen. I would guess that these could make up
for a relatively significant number across the entire US.

There's plenty of woods in the residential areas that aren't mapped, but I'm
not sure how to handle them.

they won't stay, and they won't do their best when mapping
