[OSM-talk] OsmAnd financially rewarding mappers

[Janko Mihelić]

I think existing mappers are not the biggest problem. If mapping starts
being paid, there may be an influx of new mappers who do it only for the
money.

They will, of course, map a lot because that's how you get more money. They
will introduce skewed mapping practices at best, and outright wrong mapping
at worst. For example, they may start mapping forests with natural=tree
because that way they get more money.

In my opinion this should be a very controlled practice which will guide
those mappers through a narrow path, and not give them the free will to get
paid for what ever they do.
