As a 20 year GIS veteran I understand what you say. I do agree that in
communication with first responders it is important to have them clearly
understand that the accuracy of features can be off ~100m. But for them
having maps that give a good indication is way better

I don't think it's reasonable to expect new mappers to be able to take
quick start training and jump into contributing, at least for those who
have not mapped before.
If we keep the tasks we ask them to do simple then I think its doable.

There are a number of issues and trade offs. First JOSM actually does do
validation but many new mappers use id which apparently does not. If you
look at the numbers about half of the mappers are new mappers to OSM on
this project so we get a great deal of mapping from them. Some know very

Do not worry about it. It is just a standard warning, that is usually

You can keep mapping :)
