Edits can be made by registered users of our site through a simple interface that's not as scary as Potlatch :) Our aim is therefore to encourage non-mappers to contribute to OSM, since they won't have to worry about the complexities of tagging rules, etc. Whilst we have a number of things in place to guard against vandalism and incorrect edits, we're also looking at the best ways to (a) tag uploaded edits so that they can be clearly extracted from the data and (b) work with the OSM community to revert bad edits. We could do (b) by emailing the various lists, but is there a more efficient way to arrange to get edits reverted? I'm looking for whatever way is least load on us *and* those in OSM who maintain the data.</div>
