Changeset list getting clobbered by MapRoulette...

[Jeff Meyer]

Hi Martijn -

Pawel's got it exactly right. Zoom to your hood, then view history (or,
say, anything around the Red Iguana). Then, scan through the changeset link
and see how many changsets highlight the entire map view area. Now, try to
find the changes from those changesets that are actually in the map view
area.

It's not really a MapRoulette issue, as MR is finding and fixing lots of
good stuff. But! If MR users aren't keeping their changesets small (e.g. 1
change per changeset), the BB's for their changes can become very big very
quickly as they bounce around the country.

Thanks, Jeff
