Martijn,
This is quite an achievement and I, for one, thank you for your ingenuity.
Beers on me, next time we meet!

Do you have any metrics/stats on the MapRoulette tasks? Like, how many
errors at the beginning, how many contributors, how long it took to
eliminate the errors? and so on? That would give us a useful benchmark for
other data quality efforts.
