Maybe parts can be done also as SC quests. It is also likely that some libraries made by

Westnordost will be useful for you.

Do you want to be directly responsible for all edits made by users (not only indirectly 


responsible as the editor author)?

Yes, see StreetComplete. Note that in this case you are fully responsible for all mistakes

made by the algorithm (there were already bugs in StreetComplete that resulted in review

of all possibly affected changesets).

See StreetComplete, it works well and code is likely to be reusable (assuming

that you accept the license).

I would strongly suggest to start from looking at what can be implemented as a StreetComplete

quests - there is already some pool of people using this editor and it may be better to start from

the simplest possible task. Making a new editor is a huge effort.
