Overall I like what I see in the MapRoulette. The challenge is that it
becomes difficult to monitor the local area. Most changes that appear
in the history have 5-15 pages of ways listed, scattered across the

Hi US community,
so now the details of the next global mapathon are fixed:
It's called operation cowboy and covering the weekend *23.11-25.11* so
every local team should have a fair chance to join in.
Tomorrow I would like to announce it to the whole community, but some

Hello all,
This email will be divided into two parts. The first contains specifics

These guidelines are all nice, but I have two reservations about where
this discussion is headed.
1) I don't think it is a good idea to come up with a code of conduct
as a response to particular cases. When there's an actual dispute on
the table that might be addressed by an as yet imaginary code,
I ran a workshop + mapping party at the University of Utah last year.

I assume we should target these activities towards mappers of medium

One task I can think of doing is to find newer roads that weren't in
the original TIGER data and adding them in, preferably in areas
without active mappers. But I assume not many participants would be
