I don't value privacy above all else. Name a jurisdiction you think respects privacy, and then let us evaluate * how would OSM servers be funded there * how would we get expert admins nearby like we have now * how would we make sure we have similar network performance and reliability * what downtime and other unwanted consequences would a move imply and then we can discuss whether anyone wants to afford the extra privacy. I'm unlikely to be in favour. > So adding comments to trac and sending emails on this topic is doing nothing?

Raise funds for better hardware that seamlessly handles encryption; or start modifying editors to support OAuth so that they can use SSL for the login part only - that would be a start. Write How-Tos etc. that explain OAuth to users. Bye Frederik _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
