Hi Bjoern,
I'm the main developer MapContrib
(https://github.com/MapContrib/MapContrib). One of the main purposes of
the project is to be simple for users.
You're searching something I plan to implement in MapContrib (but I
don't know when...), see
https://github.com/MapContrib/MapContrib/issues/148.
Is that issue the exact need of yours?
Feel free to answer here and/or in the issue whenever you want.
Have a nice day,
Guillaume

Hi all,
first post to the list - hope this is of interest.
The background to my question is working is areas where map coverage
is poor (e.g. parts of Africa). Sometimes only low-res satellite/bing
imagery is available, sometimes obscured by clouds. In some low
populated areas a GPS trace could be useful to map out roads
connecting settlements (despite inaccuracies of GPS).
There are many great OSM apps out there, including apps for recording
traces (e.g. OSM tracker, etc). However, unless I've missed it, I
would say that none of those apps is suitable for the "non-technical"
user. Indeed, we've tried using various such apps, and it's been
difficult in terms of usability.
Is there interest in (or is anybody working on) creating an very
simple-to-use app that allows "non-technical" users to contribute OSM
information? E.g. a large red button for recording a trace with
automatic upload (optimised for poorly internet connected
environments, e.g. wait for wifi, upload in chunks etc; information
submitted with GPS accuracy information).
(There are of course issues with GPS traces, so perhaps automated
capture of GPS traces is not that useful.)
Many thanks!
Bjoern
