Hi,

 Note to administrator : would it be possible to raise the size limit for

Maybe it is also prudent to recognise that while there is a crisis in 
Haiti, there is mapping as usual in many other regions of the world - 
some of it in regions that might become the next victim of a natural 
disaster.

While most of us want to help where we can, OSM as a whole must not 
grind to a halt because there is a crisis in Haiti. There are tens of 
thousands of active OSMers around the world, and 400 of them are active 
in Haiti. Every Haiti message on this mailing list reaches a very high 
number of people who are not interested, and it is their right to be not 
interested - they are doing good work elsewhere.

I think it is time for an osm-haiti mailing list - or if every OSMer 
helping in Haiti is already on crisismappers, then that's ok too, we can 
then simply stop crossposting and forwarding everything here.

Bye
Frederik

You say exactly what I'm thinking since a couple of days, but more
diplomatically.
+1 for an osm-haiti or a more general osm-relief mailing-list.

+1 from me too.

Perhaps osm-humanitarian to cover future uses?

An OSM-emergency group has been established externally already:
http://groups.google.com/group/osm-emergency

I too agree with Frederik and couldn't have put it better.

  Perhaps it could be named osm-crisis, and also serve for license
  change discussions.

I would rather say osm-crisis or osm-relief - keep it general so that it
will reach motivated individual next time such an emergency arises.

I think that it would be nice that Haiti rebuilding effort be supported 
by a osm-haiti.


Which should not prevent an osm-crisis to be created as well, as a 
framework for future crisis, and an open complement to CrisisMappers.

I agree with Jean-Guilhem (osm-haiti). At the field level it’s important
that the international community doesn’t forget Haiti after the emergency
period. It’s the same at OSM level : it’s important to maintain the effort.
A great job has been done within a few day. More job is needed to perfect it
and, most of all, explain and help field actors to use OSM data.
