Hi

https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/21922

There's a maproulette task to add most (all?) school specific data from 
from the Government's education database:

https://www.get-information-schools.service.gov.uk

I'm failing to see what benefits this adds to OSM. As it is a 
continuously updated database by the authorities, it will always be more 
up to date than having the data within OSM. Similar to the Food Hygiene 
database, all that's required is a reference (ref:edubase) back to each 
record..

Cheers
