<br><tt><font size=2>Sounds like a problem that may be solved by some kind
of graduated access scheme.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Anyone can sign up and add a POI to the map, or add
information to an existing object (add an address, add a bus stop, bakery,
or oneway annotation).</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>At the next grade threshold, you can alter existing
information. (change a way type, change a oneway annotation, etc).</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>At the next grade threshold, you can free to move,
delete, etc.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Throw in a close link to openstreetbugs, so people

<br><tt><font size=2>No protection against the malicious user intent on
doing damage and with time on their hands, but it is a way of allowing
access to the easy stuff to all, and everything to those prepared to spend
a little time to understand what is involved.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>If the API enforces the policy, then front end editors
can deal with it as they will, and the oneway competition, or address quiz
are still possibilities.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>Of course how people progress to the next grade would
be an interesting system to devise. Perhaps a multiple choice quiz
comparing wiki voting to tagwatch? :-)</font></tt>
