I wonder how the edits could be pre-review by an image analysis tool, that will auto detect if the submitted path is a text or a logo.
Might speed up the manual process.
Sort of. Here's their list of edits: http://www.google.com/mapmaker?gw=66&ptab=1&uid=200619129451... (should be page 3), the Apple at the bottom would be reasonable to expect a human to catch. Not so much for a logo seeking algorithm, but it's not a clean simple shape. On page 4 the android head stands out too, again a human moderating could be expected to spot that.
