I’m pretty excited to announce that I have a public beta up now at <a href="http://maproulette.org:8080" class="">http://maproulette.org:8080</a>. I am very much looking forward to your feedback. Old MapRoulette will be around for a month or so more, then we will switch over. Some more details below.
