John, no worries, we'll handle it. Appreciate your input.
But given that the buildings are not only shifted, but often incorrect, I
think it a better option to have them adjusted in real time (even with the
potential issues that raises). I've updated the task instructions to
indicate this. I also don't expect there to be a massive number of
volunteers, so we'll keep an eye on the work as it progresses and determine
if we need to change the approach.
