It shouldn't be done beyond a mappers 'territory' or 'reach'.
For example I am starting a process where I trace a few blocks of buildings, go out and map them (might be 2-4 trips worth) and then when I've edited/uploaded that area I begin tracing again. This helps people see that mapping is happening in the area, there is probably no point getting house numbers for the buildings because I may be out surveying them already, instead trace some more buildings. Example: http://osm.org/go/euuOoSiY With such a tool as is being described I could trace more buildings, but I would still restrict this to what I expect to survey in a month or two. (longer than that and I might have moved home and abandon mapping the area, or mapping tactic/direction might change) -- Gregory o...@livingwithdragons.com http://www.livingwithdragons.com
