I think people will participate because they will get a warm fuzzy feeling from being able to point at Google Maps and say "I did that". True, you can get a warm fuzzy from pointing at OSM and saying "I did that", but Google Maps has a much higher profile in the non-geo* community than OSM does.
Personally, I'm going to continue doing my thing in OSM and fix things in Google Maps, too, because who doesn't like warm fuzzies? --G -----Original Message----- From: "Connors, Bernie (SNB)" <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2011 11:36:57 To: 'G.
