It is not just about JOSM, the change breaks *every application, web service or browser plugin* that creates a reference to the osm main page or that could parse an OSM url. That's a little bit more :-). What's more as this was done unannounced (no, an internal issue tracker is not an announcement), all these applications are failing now as a surprise for their users. tmcw wrote > Can we stop calling any feature that changes the behavior of the site "a > major step backwards"? No. If you just go ahead with changes that break things, you should anticipate damage reports. Maybe a wider discussion of the expected impacts could have avoided the problem, but asking for silence on the topic will neither fix the problem nor the (lack of) procedure which created it. bye, Nop -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/The-new-link-on-the-OSM-map-tp5772913p5772979.html Sent from the Developer Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
