I think that Martijn van O had a prototype of an OL based issue tracker as well - is the one in SVN based on that, or an entirely different thing? What I like about Richard D's variant is that you can apply a note to an *area*, while the code in our SVN seems to assume that notes always relate to a *point*. Personally I always thought that notes could be usable not only for people pointing out errors, but also for meta-info like: "drove around this quarter for two hours. think I got all the roads but some cycleways t.b.d.". IMHO notes are very well suited for placing them *outside* of the central OSM data base because they do not have to integrate tightly with the rest; there's no reason I can see why notes should not reside on an external service, with editors connecting that service through appropriate plugins. I haven't studied the notes branch in SVN closely, and have probably missed the discussion about it on the lists (pointers anyone?), but if the plan is to add some kind of <note> objects to OSM data then I would like to register mild opposition. Let the core do the core tasks, and do everything else elsewhere. Otherwise you'll end up with geotagged images in the central database sooner or later ;-) Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
