There's no difference between someone who goes through the
traditional signup process and messes up the data VS someone coming in
via a Facebook login or the "Friendly page" and messes up the data.
It's only a question of scale - do we pick up enough quality users from
convenient logins to make it worth the trouble? Perhaps barriers are
good for regions that are already saturated with mappers.

I agree, that full-feature-editors (comparable e.g. with JOSM) are not
possible to use without skills (or they are dangerous to harm the

But an "address completion editor", where it's easy to fill in post
codes, streetnames and housenumbers could be useful - easy to use and
less error prone.

Customized editors such as the Skobbler "Address Game" can solicit
input from those would not otherwise be interested in learning all the
details.
Similarly, a "one-way street editor" which allows anyone to verify and
correct all the one-way streets that they know about would be a
candidate for mass participation.
