Hi Gerv and Mikel, In community projects like OSM there's always a danger that technical issues get suppressed by either 'democratised' processes or (not technically oriented) opinion leaders. From what I understand you're concerns are well justified.
So I'd like to bring back the discussion to the point: Gerv: I see what your driving at and I know MediaWiki quite a bit. You're proposals seem to be quite reasonable: 1. Proposed_Features and Map_Features should use compatible templates. 2. Proposals should be written in a style as if they were accepted (unaccepted proposals would be automagically marked with something like "This proposal is not yet official.") 3. All tag explanation pages *must* reside in the same namespace. Then Mikel asked: > Can the key/value, rendering rules and outputs, comments and descriptions, > photos, and perhaps if we decide it makes sense, the "approval" process > be abstracted to a model for use in rails? What would the goal look like, > and are there small intermediate steps which are obtainable? Can you explain that a little bit more? -- Stefan 2008/3/27, Gervase Markham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Frederik Ramm wrote: > >> Believe it or not, I was being ironic when I wrote that. > > > > It was quite obvious that you were using the term "anarcho- > > collaborativist" to pour scorn on my statement that the people who > > cast votes in our project have no authority. > > Nothing as strong as scorn.
