Food for thought... Imagine we performed a large data import into a side table, then used MapRoulette to overlay that data on OSM, allow users to review additions, and import features one at a time. Would that be better?<br>

this could work for some imports. there might be timeliness and QC issues<br>

I would suggest, though, that this sort of mapping far-from-home is generally lower quality and should be avoided. Local knowledge is King. <br>
