+ Pin je punt: map notes
- MapComplete and community
+ Little "drag" on older contributors (allthough they did a lot of cartographic work)
+ Pitfall: eternal september (themes must be good!)
+ Pitfall: "obligated mapping"
+ Pitfall: should not lose the ghost of OSM
+ Small but relatively active community around MC
- Build your own theme

MapComplete: introduction, retrospective, projects and community
## Introduction
MapComplete is a simple to use OSM-map viewer and map editor. This web-based application has seen a few successful projects and makes on-the-go mapping easy and accessible.
In this talk, the MapComplete developer will talk about the vision behind mapcomplete, do a retrospective of the first two years; highlight some successful projects (which included data imports) and the impact on the OSM-community in Belgium and beyond.
# Building your own theme
## Intro
What does it take to build a successful and easy to use editor? How can phrasing, order of question, presenting filters, ... be used to prevent mapping errors?
