Overall I like what I see in the MapRoulette. The challenge is that it
becomes difficult to monitor the local area. Most changes that appear
in the history have 5-15 pages of ways listed, scattered across the
country or world. I reviewed several in my area and found one that

I'm not sure there is anyone *banned* from the lists. On moderation,
maybe, but so long as the emails are eventually going through that
seems okay.

so now the details of the next global mapathon are fixed:

These guidelines are all nice, but I have two reservations about where
this discussion is headed.
1) I don't think it is a good idea to come up with a code of conduct
as a response to particular cases. When there's an actual dispute on
the table that might be addressed by an as yet imaginary code,
I ran a workshop + mapping party at the University of Utah last year.

I assume we should target these activities towards mappers of medium
or lower skill?
One task I can think of doing is to find newer roads that weren't in
the original TIGER data and adding them in, preferably in areas
without active mappers. But I assume not many participants would be
