The intent is not to have people upload the grid squares. I don't believe Potlatch causes a problem since it shows as an overlay.
The issue occurs when people merge the grid with the data they download from JOSM. Perhaps a warning when the grid is downloaded will help with the situation. Jaakko, to answer your question I don't think we should leave it for the validators. It is hard to get people to validate as it is. I think editing a little over the edge is fine. There shouldn't be problems with editing conflicts really at least no worse than when we didn't have the Tasking Manager and people just edited where they thought work needed to happen. -Kate On Sat, Jun 23, 2012 at 10:59 AM, Jon Bigus Fatfrog <[email protected]> wrote: > The boxes shouldn't be in the db.
