HI All,
Thanks for all the great comments and input. This is what I was hoping for.
It seems like the biggest concern people have expressed is the idea of

think that the primary rule for bulk loading should be first do no

Hi all,
I am starting the process of pulling together a group to focus on updating
and expanding trail data in OSM. The initial focus would be in the US

Fred,
I think it is a great idea to focus on trails. In my opinion, this

please no bulk upload. public data isn't always up to date and really needs
a review. if a trail is missing it's not a big deal when you have an
additional option. But if you plan a long hike and a trail is no passable
anymore it can be really dangerous.
