It really does feel like hell is going to freeze over.



Yes, I'm already shivering of anticipation.

This is very exciting news. But I could not find any way to make use of that at 
the moment. So I guess this will be possible in the future as in opposed to now?

Re: [OSM-talk] Let's prepare to Fork OSM to a CCBYSA 2.0 continuation

I have no problem if the data I contributed is copied  by [one or multiple]
fork (that's why a full history dump has been created, cf

would be different projects I expect the account I created in OSM to be
confined in that project.


Full ACK, creating a fork under the same license would be covered by the 
current license anyway.

 Instead of just moaning about the Odbl, let's stark working on a

to contribute under CCBYSA2.0 terms, and put pressure on OSMF and 
others to tell them that if they decide to go the Odbl way, they will 
loose us and also be faced with a fork.


I think this is quite interesting: if you do not do as I want, YOU will 
be responsible. Isn't there a term for this? I think it's "blackmail"


This means we have to find a new domain, new servers, and get the 
usernames/passwords copied so people can login to the CCBYSA 2.0 fork 
without new registration.


I think this could be a real problem. Because I for one do not agree to 
have my log in credentials copied to any other server.

[OSM-talk] Templates in the wiki

2008-08-16 Thread Florian Heer
Hi!

At the moment I try to clean up a bit in the german section of the wiki, 
that is I try to translate missing pages and synchronize descriptions of 
tags.
During that I came across a lot of templates which is all very nice but 
it seems that all of them lack a way to control standard texts and 
internal links via a language argument. Just as an example the template 
"KeyDescription" has the texts "Description" and "Group" hard-coded in 
it. I would love it to read "Beschreibung" resp. "Gruppe".

Also the template "Map_Features:highway" has, as much as I understand 
it, no way of changing the key/value-links from the englisch to the 
language-specific.

Now, unfortunately I have not enough knowledge to implement something 
like that...

Could someone please do this, tell me how to do it or point me to a 
better place to plead my case?

Best regards, Florian Heer

No, in Germany the sign says "Anlieger frei", everyone who has business 
there may pass.
