This was meant as a "how to do". I don't intend to continue this.
page is by no means a replacement of trac ticketing system and I ask
you again not to delete it.
You know the rationale behind my comment and the comment remains valid
even if you removed it again. I will not delete the page now (which I
never considered), but it will not stay there longer than approx. 2
months.
Because I did so. I don't have to justify.
No, but if WIKI pages don't match the concept, than you also need to live
with the consequences.
Sorry for jumping in, but I have a suggestion for you. I understand Dirk's
points, but I do see some merit in the notes too. I can think of three
places for the notes that could be more suitable or appropriate:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/diary
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:*
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti
All three alternatives seem to be fine. I personally think the second is
best.
I'm not the WIKI admin of wiki.openstreetmap.org, so I do not care what is
stored there (even if sometimes I'm forced to cleanup there as well due to
to many people refering to outdated stuff). But I remember the
openstreetmap wiki was in bad need for administrators some time ago which
essentially had an eye on the stuff. For JOSM I fullfill this task and
even if there aren't a lot rules, a few are.
I immediatelly delete SPAM. Everything else gets a note what will happen
and how to fix it. And yes, regarding administration sometimes I'm a
dictator. I'm in OpenSource business for about 20 years (more than half of
my life) and got some experience. This means the few rules I adhere to are
usually well funded (and if not can be changed by facts easily).
There are many things in JOSM development I do not like, but need to
accept as people (developers and users) have different opinions. On the
other hand you and others also need to accept when I do not accept some
things (even if you don't fully understand the reasons).
So please either create Trac tickets or move the page to a place which I
don't care about. Probably best is to do both.
