I've been putting the word out and trying to get the data in from  
people here.

I've been doing exactly this, but potlatch is really pissing me off  
because you have to be so precise when moving nodes about and adding  
nodes to ways, you often just drag the map and not a node. I've asked  
richard for a 'double width' node and way mode. I don't think potlatch  
has been used extensively in this way - fixing lots of existing crap  
data - before.
