For those who are still naive to think that journalists find out these things themselves: Google has huge amount of money to waste on PR. If last two years is evidence everyone is happy to advertise "new stuff" of their maps, because it's very easy for people to relate to. I don't see how OSM woul

As one of people who raised issue of iD being slow on Firefox more than week ago, I must say that I tested it right now on Firefox 20 (on same system, just Firefox upgrade) and it is much much faster. Thanks for improvements to iD dev team and keep up good work! :) Respectfully, Peteris Krisjanis.

I think most humanly possible way is to set up monitoring for concrete region and follow changesets. Usually those with vandalism don't have very insightful changeset comments, also user names can sometimes indicate intent. I think there is no way computer can detect this except using our defined
