I would like the option to add anonym (anonym != pseudonym) GPX files. I also 
know, that this will not help very much, if you are alone in your mapping 
region, but it is better than nothing.

Don't forget options to delete (or mark as "bad") gpx files. These data can 
also be too inaccurate, confusing, just plain wrong, broken or even poisoned 
by purpose.

Also, annotations of raw GPX files are really necessary (as discussed 
somewhere (dev mailing list?) before). Users need to leave comments about 
their gpx files, as example "walked 20m right of the street".


Ciao, Imi.
