There's always some risk that people will enter bad data. There's also an argument that they'll have more incentive to do a good job if it's an area they know and care about. On Wed, Jun 8, 2011 at 12:09 PM, Steve Coast st...@asklater.com wrote: A few people have requested that. The problem

Yup, address data. You just don't need that data to move the pin. On 6/8/2011 12:05 PM, Serge Wroclawski wrote: On Wed, Jun 8, 2011 at 1:59 PM, Steve Coastst...@asklater.com wrote: In terms of lat,lng, the process already knows the centroid of a parcel. So this is parcel data. What about

A few suggestions: - A way to move the pointer without submitting the location. In case the pointer is hiding something. Or perhaps a checkbox to temporarily hide the pointer - You have a skip button, but no way to determine why it was skipped. Perhaps add buttons or check boxes

Okay that works for me, Hennepin will be next. So you have an incentive to get all you're friends to finish off the current one, as we all do. It's kind of neat in that anyone can now help OSM without needing to map. So tell all your friends :-) Steve On 6/6/2011 12:22 PM, Ian Dees wrote:
