[josm-dev] Accuracy is important - not!

The spirit of the message (and it was probably written before Y!
imagery) is, "map the places that you know"

now, with Y! and other imagery, personal knowledge about a place is
not required. (Grenada for example)

Maybe we should talk about the broader issue of data quality?

"Quality is important"
"The best quality maps come from people mapping the areas they know"

There's also a bit of legacy paranoia here: "If you only map those
places where you can prove to have been through a GPX trace, then the
Ordnance Survey will have a harder job taking us to court."
"paranoia is important, use the source tag"
