<p>One thought I've had for a long time (and have probably
mentioned in the past) is a walkers' editor (app rather than
web-based). To be used something like:</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>User goes for walk and records GPX trace, following this sort of
pattern.</p>
<p><br>
Each time the type of right of way changes, the user selects a
high level type ("Public Footpath", "Public Bridleway" etc in the
UK) together with optional surface tags.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>User can also enter relevant POIs like stiles, gates etc when
they are encountered.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>When user returns home, track simplification algorithm used to
make a way from the GPX trace and tags it with the tags equivalent
to the ROW type.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>User downloads data from OSM and algorithms are used to
auto-join the user's new ways to existing ways where appropriate
(or alternatively, the user does this manually)</p>

That's not a million miles from the way that I map right now,
albeit without the benefits of an "app" as such:<br>
<br>
I record a GPS trace (on a Garmin) with numbered waypoints in
it. The symbols for the Garmin waypoints "mean" something, so
the "boat ramp" symbol means "public right of way". If it's a
bridleway I'll add "BR" to the comment on the Garmin. If more
text is needed (e.g. the name of a shop I've created a waypoint
for) I'll create an line in an email to myself, the start of which
is the Garmin waypoint number and the rest of which is the
comment.<br>
<br>
When I get home I'll split the individual traces out
programmatically, merge the comments from the email into the GPX
file (likewise) and upload to OSM.<br>
<br>
I'll then edit in OSM using the uploaded trace directly (using P2 -
JOSM can't process waypoints in a way that's useful to me).
Usually the combination of new GPS trace, previous GPS traces, Bing
imagery, OS OpenData StreetView imagery and my recollection is
enough to figure out where the path should go, but none of those
(unless there are really _lots_ of old GPS traces) are good enough
on their own.<br>
<br>
On an introductory level, I can definitely see the benefits of
something that can suggest to people "here are the other attributes
of $thing that you've just added", like iD does, and like Kort
does/used to do (see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Kort_Game">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Kort_Game</a>
).<br>
