I do not mean that people. I mean people correcting things or adding
small information.
When I drive around I have afterwards a map with only nodes and
segments. No street names, no speed limits, no oneways. 
What we need is, that afterwards a user who do not want to spend much
time into the project watches if its own street is inside that "cool new
project"

"Ah this street has no name but its the area I life."
"Here stands I can drive 50 at the street around the corner, but I know
its only 30..."
what comes next is either 
"Lets correct this fast" 
or 
"I have to register, that is too complicated for me!"

I correct very often links or orthographic things in wikipedia without
the need to create an account and log in bevor (and if I would have to
do this, I wouldn't!)

Bye, Ben
