Kai, I think this is a good idea, and a very well presented argument - a push to get UK OSM coverage up would make the uk dataset more useful (more chance of being able to search for an address etc.). I think it would be worth treating a 'blind' tracing (as opposed to tracing an area that you

We've never bothered adding verified=no for tracing from Yahoo maps with Potlatch, or adding new roads in the city with only very rough GPS accuracy, or any of the other sources of OSM data, many of which are often worse in quality than the Ordnance Survey data (which, from all I've seen, is

I've support this 'project of the week' and I've already tested the idea in a small area. If you look around the web for critical views on Openstreetmap it does look like the big chunks of missing streets puts people off. A few opinions to add. 1. If you know how to convert the shapefile, use

I like the idea for a project of the week using OS OpenData StreetView, but would suggest that before we add lots of new roads we work hard to get roads which are already in OSM properly named. Firstly it is improving data which is already there, secondly it using a second, independent, data
