Description
I would like to raise the bar a little bit for creating MapRoulette challenges. Reason for this is I want to ensure when you create a challenge you have a decent amount of familiarity with the MapRoulette application and "flow".
This could take two forms that I see:
- Lock "Create and Manage" until you have completed (fixed) at least N tasks.
- Don't lock the functionality but don't allow a challenge to be made public until at least N tasks in it are fixed.
This is a tricky one, because I really don't want to create the incentive to game the system by marking tasks as fixed when the user has done nothing to fix them, but on the other hand I do want to continue to improve MR to ensure higher quality tasks.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposed Create and Manage restriction and the alternative of delaying challenge publication. Clarify the required task threshold and how to avoid incentivizing users to mark tasks fixed without doing the work; done means an agreed policy is implemented for challenge creation or publication.
