And note, that it's hard for us, advanced mappers! But I guess this
project has a long tail - that means advanced users are just a tiny
(even if important) part of community. So most of the work is done by
casual mappers. They have iD as a tool and that's great, but if
My "long tail" intuition are now supported by a scientific study called
"Characterizing the Heterogeneity of the OpenStreetMap Data and
Community", and we know even how much advanced users are there! The
abstract says:
"All three aspects (users, elements, and contributions) demonstrate
striking power laws or heavy-tailed distributions. The heavy-tailed
distributions imply that there are far more small elements than large
ones, far more inactive users than active ones, and far more lightly
edited elements than heavy-edited ones. Furthermore, about 500 users in
the core group of the OSM are highly networked in terms of
collaboration."

So, we should really take care of casual mappers!
