Else

• We should ensure that people leave us their tracks, so we can create a progress map
• All data collected should get edited right at the weekend
• Mappers should be urged to map systematically. Either all post boxes or none, but not only some. Either all footways or none, not only some etc.
• While we have the planet dump of wednesday, we should fetch Karlsruhe on saturday evening to create an incremental map
