Funny you should say that. I was doing some backwoods editing recently and
wondering about the same problem.

I was wondering if something like http://frontdoor.cloudapp.net/ might be a
fun solution. Present some aerial imagery, the OSM data, and say "is this a
track or a road?". Kind of like HotOrNot for the OSM generation. (For extra
efficiency, have a button for "it's a track and in fact _everything_ on this
view is a track"... and a link to open it in P2 (or whatever) for the really
curious.)

This sort of game-like edit, basically harnessing people's boredom, could be
a nice way to get the casual user into OSM.

cheers
Richard
