[Talk-us] New MapRoulette now in early public beta

[Martijn van Exel]

Thanks Steven.
Interesting those TIGER deserts still around, isn’t it. I found quite a few myself. On Slack we have been discussing how to specifically detect them in a way that could make them into good MapRoulette challenges. If you have any ideas on how that could be accomplished let me know!

In fact, sort of by stumbling around and trying to figure it out, I did figure it out and before you know it (just a couple of minutes, really) I had completed several challenges.  Now THAT how good software should work!
