Jan said "pass the message to editors such as Potlatch that they need not bother editing these features". I'm replying that Potlatch will not honour such a request, and explaining why. > The Jan Iven's topic makes sense, and the thread should go on, > without this kind of "I will categorily not permit". Do you own OSM? No, but I'm the maintainer of the git repository from which the OSM copy of Potlatch 2 is cloned. As such, any changes that are made to the OSM instance of P2 need to pass both my approval, and upstream of that, the approval of the OSM sysadmins. I would not admit such a change into my repository and as such it wouldn't be passed upstream. (JOSM, Merkaartor and such like all have their own maintainers, too - Dirk Stöcker and Chris Browet respectively, I believe.) Were OSMF, which as the owner of the openstreetmap.org domain name is the ultimate arbiter of these things, to require such a feature to be included, I would ask them to find another maintainer for the OSM instance. An editor that says "oh, if you want to edit this, you need to use another editor" is not one I want to maintain. Does you see where I'm coming from? cheers Richard _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
