I'd be curious how to get a potential Maproulette project involved for some of the more trivial issues I'm seeing (the railway crossing issue has been fantastically simple, even if the difference between railway=crossing and railway=level_crossing isn't, by the way). I'd be curious if there's a way to deal with gamifying other attributes of the TIGER import, since a huge number of ways in OKC are split, which, contrary to the TIGER import's intentions, seem to be stifling contributions, since we have far more contributors in Tulsa and Stillwater (and then, probably largely due to university outreach, given that's a college city) and even many small towns across Oklahoma and Kansas (without having, AFAICT, any GIS-dependant fields in the area) have more active contributors than the deafening silence from OKC metro. Thankfully, the lanes Maproulette seems to have not been a factor in Oklahoma County as much as elsewhere, but it still seems the fact that the TIGER import contained a high number of improperly divided major thoroughfares is a barrier to entry in metro OKC.
