Hi,
I hope it's ok to move the discussion on a more general topic, so
hopefully we can get the original thread for organisazion stuff.

Good idea but - I would like to urge some degree of caution on this in the
UK.
+1, actually not only there.
Absolutely, this happened in the beginning even to myself. But lessons
learned and I guess a lot of people in the community are able to take a
critical at aerial imagery and add just things that they understand.
This is why I suggested not to bring in to much new mappers, as well.
So if you're deriving footpaths or tracks from aerial imagery, please only
add them if it is *absolutely obvious* that they are paths or tracks.
adding (and removing) stuff based on aerial imagery without local
knowledge is always a problem. On the German list Sven Geggus wrote
about a new house he had inserted from the construction drawing which
he had himself georeferenced, and later someone deleted that and
remapped a house from Bing which was demolished 3 years ago...
So be careful and edit preferably in empty zones (which worldwide
aren't hard to find).
Exactly this is the point! Be crititcal and if you aren't sure consult
third party sources or let it be and add just a OSMBug.
I hope I got it right in the wiki and put enough/the right hints. Feel
free to improve it.
bye
Matthias
