Would it make any sense at all to consider it from the other angle, as in a measure of incompleteness, as well as completeness. That is make it easy for people to say 'there is a road missing here' or 'that's actually called hol demi close'? Then you verify these measures of in accuracy and the area is complete again. I think it could work if there were enough people marking errors in a particular area, and would make it easier for those without the kit (i.e. GPS or aerial imagery) to get involved. At the same time, of course, it would help to be able to say a particular user has verified this area to be complete at this particular point in time (changes happen, if you don't know when the area was marked complete you won't know a past development actually applies). -- Cheers, Tom - www.bandnet.org _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
