Possible drivers of quality:<br><ol><li>Peer reviewing, as a social gateway to community engagement with new mappers.<br><br></li><li>Hiring a physiologist on retainer to understand obsessed trolls like NE2, and respond appropriately.<br>
<br></li><li>Supporting single feature mappers. There's a vibrant community of people who collect narrow data: for example RV dump stations. Not everyone has to be an area mapper.<br><br></li><li>Building tools that make it more awkward to make common mistakes. For example certain tags could be semi-locked (producing a educational warning message when altered). "source" is a candidate tag for this.<br>
<br></li><li>Building tools that show "before and after" as a visual "diff" prior to upload.<br><br></li><li>A point system that unlocks capabilities as a mapper progresses. For example new accounts may be able to edit only 10 features at a time. Accounts can earn and unlock additional capability with successful edits.<br>
<br></li><li>Ongoing data imports (e.g. conflating a store's database of hours with OSM's cache of the same data).<br><br></li><li>Using select import projects to grow the mapping community.<br><br></li><li>Focusing on finding niches where Open Street Map gets used by people with no (current) interest in mapping. We can't compete with Google Maps for driving directions: but we can <i>blow Google Maps away</i> in a huge variety of other ways. <u>Focus on what map products would be compelling not to <i>create</i>, but to <i>view</i>.</u></li>
