[OSM-talk] Using OpenStreetMap on a daily basis

Regarding all this:
A current theme in OSM development is to "make editing easier, so more
people map".

Without any quibble with better design or better tools: I'd rather use
the output of hundreds of dedicated mappers, as opposed to the leavings
of thousands of new or one time editors. Perhaps there are some feature
types, like wheelchair access, where casting a broad net makes sense.  But
for most areas editing OSM is a bit technical.  It's not the tools, it's
the culture, conventions, and sense of what needs mapping.

If for every million new viewers of OSM, the community netted ten recurring
mappers, that would be great.
