How about a Report button, so that people can report all sorts of errors and vandalism? Ideally with a mandatory text field so that people can say what is wrong with the page. OpenStreetBugs helps OpenStreetMap users on the ground report problems to those that have the time and skills to fix them. Spotting problems and fixing them are complementary skills, and it’s an outdated and flawed attitude in wiki projects that the spotter should fix the spotted errors. > 4) Related to #3, there isn't a way that I can see to "watch" a page and > be notified about changes.

Like Wikipedia you could view recent changes to watched pages. Hopefully there’d be fewer edit wars than on Wikipedia though! - Laurence _______________________________________________ Ol-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-discuss To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
