Hi, from time to time I remind users participating in imports to use a dedicated account for their participation. [1] A Canadian asked me yesterday if a user who participates in multiple imports needs one account per import or if one account for all imports is sufficient. [2]
I think that a user only has to create one account for all imports if it is possible to distinguish independent imports (good and meaningful changeset comments!). The main idea behind this requirement is that if anything is wrong the import (e.g. technical or legal issues), anyone (including the mapper himself) can revert the import with less collateral damage. What are your opinions? Best regards Michael [1] I don't revert imports just because they were uploaded with the wrong account. Sometimes users accidentially use the wrong account. This happens even to me. In other cases users are not aware that this requirement exists (it is hidden in the guideline). [2] The personal message was a response to a changeset comment by me. -- Per E-Mail kommuniziere ich bevorzugt GPG-verschlüsselt. (Mailinglisten ausgenommen) I prefer GPG encryption of emails.
