Hi.
I don't think that would help - at least as you miss the distinction
between data and information.
(Especially) for beginners the problem isn't the reliability of the
information they have (most beginners do not start armchair-mapping, at

Hi,
If a novice wants to start with JOSM , so be it, but we want
him to be attracted to something he understands right now
and prefer that before understanding the power of a real
editor.
A simple idea: Why can't a user give (for each edit, but default

I very much like Ian's idea. Coincidentally I talked about this with
some people at SotM.
It seems to me that a number of people have started editing osm after a

Sounds like a problem that may be solved by some kind of graduated access
