Hi Peter, Your proposal is interesting, but given the technical challenges you will face, it seems overly optimistic to me. I'm also not convinced that many people would be sufficiently motivated to manually report transient information such as "roadworks here", so I think your focus should be on automated extraction of information from live GPS logs. I expect that matching poor quality GPS logs (think smartphones) to OSM data (without concern for the dynamic nature of this data), and generating information with sufficient confidence about missing ways, turn restrictions, missing or incorrect oneway tags would already be a good challenge. Generating information about traffic conditions would be another possibility, but with less direct utility to OSM. Concerning the matching of GPS logs, I suggest you read the paper "Hidden Markov Map Matching Through Noise and Sparseness"[1] and perhaps prior art from the CarTel project[2].
