My brief thoughts on what would fall on the mechanical side vs not
Mechanical: Using (j)xapi to download all post boxes in a city without operator=* and adding operator=* to them Changing all McDonalds to McDonald's Mass-fixing up import tagging Anything done with absolutely no user intervention (e.g. xybot) Not: Using (j)xapi to download all post boxes in a city that you added without operator=* because you realized they were all one operator and wanted to go back to fix your earlier surveyed data. In practice most mechanical edits fall extremely far on the side of being a mechanical edit so even if it's a somewhat fuzzy line most will clearly be on one side or the other. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
