That’s a good question. The errors I was talking about above, the ones we 
detect through data analysis, are most likely to be fed back through 
MapRoulette. Because most of them are ‘suspicions’ rather than straight up 
errors. Example is the ’smoothing ways’ challenge. That needs human attention 
for sure, especially because many of those errors need clean up in the area 
around the actual detected error.

As for Scout user feedback - we don’t know yet. OSM Notes may be a good 
vehicle, but we want to make sure first that the reported errors are of good 
enough quality. Part of them we may route through MapRoulette as well. We will 
be monitoring and evaluating over the next few weeks and see what the best way 
is.
