I'm wondering whether some kind of Checking and Verification could be done. ie A Live edit map that it what new edits go into, then a checked map that people can say yes I agree that is what is there, Anybody can sign any edit off just not there own... Of course this causes problems with areas where nobody else goes.... But we should be able to join the two maps together with some kind of overlay. If someone is adding footpaths etc they should not be moving major roads very far..... We could even let people sign there own edits with the GPS trail it came from, and hence see that someone went there and saw it. Rather than just made it up. So its either checked by the GPS or by another mapper.....
