The more people start USING the map the more feedback you get where to look for changes. So the amount of work is the same but more directed. I was a heavy user of OpenStreetBugs and i am now using Notes for all those notification. "Please look here - this looks strange - something changed - please verify on ground". But still its a big task - I am taking care of a City with 95k and a City with 45k Residents in Germany. I still lack a lot of POIs and its still enough to do with changes in the road network, speed limits, buildings etc. > I also see a "cultural" difference between The Netherlands (having done 2 > major imports already) and Belgium (more averse towards big imports).
