Hi,

They want whatever they can get! And the point at which its gets
decided what information they get is you. If your only willing to
upload traces then thats all they get, if your willing to upload the
trace and sit down to draw in the roads and features even better.

Its a "do what you can or want" approach. The best scenario is that
you upload and edit the trace so that it appears on
www.openstreetmap.org. It does take a bit of learning to use the
software (JOSM/Potlatch) though, so there is a small barrier to entry.
Though the software is well written and once you learnt it once thats
it.

If you have tracks upload them please! I've done some editing for OSM
and having other GPS traces along with mine makes me much more
confident that I am accurately tracing a road.
