I will post on openstreetmap.us as well. I did set up a SLC event but I don't know if anyone is going to show up for that. Lots of folks have family obligations around here this weekend it seems.
Also I am preparing MapRoulette's next challenge in case we run out of connectivity errors over the weekend. If I have time I will prepare another MapRoulette video that goes into exploring the area around the connectivity error a little more (fixing alignment, adding traffic signals, adding new ways maybe). Would that be useful?
