Hi,

So instead of following my advice to either use that new collaborative
system or simply add a link to the file hosted on his page and me
deleting the wiki we had a lengthy discussion with the result that he
states "due to security reasons it is no longer possible to offer that
through JOSM presets list". Well, this is total nonsense.
Not related to this thread on the German forum by any chance?

I hope you draw some consolation from the fact that a large number of
people actually tried to explain things to this guy.
But certainly - the moment that money comes into the equation (e.g. a
bounty offered for some problem to be solved) it will become much harder
for the maintainer to make decisions. Currently if someone submits a
patch you can always say "I don't like it, you'd have to modify this and
that and that for it to be accepted". If money was on the table then the
submitter would promptly accuse you of being biased, of wanting to
afford the money to one of your cronies, or what not. Certainly not an
enviable position to be in.
Sometimes I'm very discouraged to care for JOSM and I'm not sure if it
is really worth the effort anymore. Each and every time something new is
introduced or something is changed you get unacceptable comments and
flames. Sometimes this can get too much even for me.
In the thread I mentioned above, someone cautioned the complainant to be
polite when writing to you because you were "more important than 50
mappers".
Bye
Frederik
