As for the feedback database, is there any way that might be opened up, so the feedback could be crowd-sourced a bit? I'm thinking that some problems, such as routes poorly planned due to lack of data in OSM, could be handled by other users. The OSM data issue being a particularly local thing, usually requiring local knowledge to fix. Just thinking aloud... I'm starting to make use of local volunteers to keep FillThatHole hazard statuses up-to-date, another situation where local knowledge is essential. Sorry to hear that you didn’t win the funding.
