I dont think anyone wants to exclude newbies - Letting others modify
"my" data is a hard task to actually watch at least when you know better
about the area but thats life - get over it. One has to tell himeself
that this leads to a better map in the end.
I have watched/read some of the other potlatch bashing and i have seen
it happing in the area i feel home too. Potlatch is the right tool for
the right audience - it brings the entry level to a point where my mum
and dad could make good maps. On the other end i think it makes it a
little too easy to trash data - i havent got any real ideas to make it
harder to trash data and easier to create correct new ones - probably we
should get Steve Jobs to look over it :).
