Yeah once I get to the point you're describing I will think about rules and details again. And I will keep your blog post handy. I just think I've just been optimizing prematurely. I have to get a sense of the failure modes before I start making too many rules. I end up spending energy on the wrong thing and get frustrated when it doesn't work anyway. I'm also doing something much simpler than you guys. Good lord, laser distance meters!? I'll be happy to number the houses in town and add all the restaurants and stuff for now :-)

BTW I'm also not just targeting newcomers, I'm also trying to gather a community among the existing local editors. It's just something I enjoy doing and it would be fun to do with more people.

As for the low numbers of newcomers - I could reach out more. There's a local tech scene slowly coalescing in my area. Once I have regular mapping meetups I'll be able to invite people at the wider tech meetups here with more confidence. (For existing editors, I should spend more time combing local edits, that's worked so far)
