Yes, this is one of my points. The other is that it fails to connect the visitor to collaboration and communication within the OSM community. The visitor is invited into what is being presented as "OpenStreetMap collaborative mapping" but this whole concept as it is being presented on that site seems to be carefully segregated from the rest of the OSM community with its communication channels, wiki, local communities etc. No one can forbid HOT to do that but if they do so they IMO should not present this under the name OpenStreetMap as "OpenStreetMap collaborative mapping" in general or even as pars pro toto. Or they could rework the site to properly present OpenStreetMap and HOT and how they relate to the visitor. learnosm.org (which i think is also mainly built by HOT) shows this is possible to do. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
