I've tried a couple of "tasks". I found it pretty hard to fill in the proper road type without being familiar with the local situation. The fact that Wegenregister adds a name to each and every long drive way is not going to help with the OSM data quality. So I gave up and went back to processing

The current situation is not helping in producing useful maps. Too often I find myself in a residential area with large gardens and trees when I expected to find a real forest based on what OSM is displaying. So there is room for improvement. I like the landcover=trees idea, but this does not
