Simon, first i've heard about this. Can you point to where it's posted please,
and also, explain the process by which they were created, proposed, and
approved? Thanks
Mikel and all,
Here is one of the emails:
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg49397.html
And the process and main page are here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Community_Guidelines/How_We_Create_Community_Guidelines
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Community_Guidelines
We'd like to get some closure on some of the longer lived items as well
as better publicise the whole process, so I am about to go to the main
list. Any discussion or input however small in the rather calmer waters
of this list first is greatly welcome. The more polished the guidelines
are, the better.
We also have a number of issues that are very immature in terms of
constructing a useful guideline. What we have been lacking, with some
notable exceptions, is data users prepared to give a real use case that
they can share in a reasonable level of detail. Being able to deal with
concrete rather than myriad hypothetical cases makes progress much
faster. If you are user or potential user of OSM data, do share
real-world issues here. Or, contact us at [email protected]. We
can handle commercial-in-confidence provided that the end result is
shareable publicly and applies to all equally within the parameters of
our license.
