Verification is a whole new ballgame. I tried a bit in my local area, going
out on foot with the printed OSM map at highest zoom and annotating the
missing bits and pieces for addition. It increased the richness of the data
considerably but made me realise that there is a second phase that will
still add a huge amount of data.

Personally I think we have more pressing things to worry about that
verification right now. Something perhaps for a year or two hence.

Cheers
