Thanks.

I will try to give this some thought. I just had a brief look at MapRoulette, but I don’t really understand yet what the technical requirements are. Just loading the .osm file as a separate layer in JOSM seems to be a reasonable way to use the data. Potentially, I could re-generate the file often, to provide an up-to-date indication of what is left to do. However there would be no easy way for someone to mark for others the fact that a way doesn’t really need changing; and that could lead to some duplicated effort. Incidentally, I noticed that you used some of the data in the last 24hrs to update road names on KI. I decided to have a go too, adding some missing roads, also to KI. The procedure of copying a road from one layer to another, joining it to existing ways, and uploading, seems to be fairly easy once you get into the rhythm. I was able to add around one missing road every 30 seconds or so. By the way, I have just put an updated version of “missing.osm” in my Google Drive folder, based on the state of OSM today (rather than 9 Feb, like the previous one).
