One idea is to leverage IRC power, by having an international channel,
where any language is permitted.

Hi,
Great mockup ! I think we absolutely need a "get direction" as an

As there are two sorts of problems - 'easy fix' ones ("There is a bank
here", "This road is Clifton Road, not Clifton Avenue etc.") and the 'hard'

who are online right now, not someone who might log in an hour from now.
