On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 3:42 PM, Frederik Ramm I can only hope that such childish protest behaviour is not the norm in OSM. It makes me angry because you and one or two other guys refuse to understand that you cannot force people writing meaningful comments in their commits and this will imply stupid comments. Wikipedia understood this, Potlatch did it, API did it, but JOSM not. Is that so childish ? Sure, only few will protest here. Others will just play arround as we can see in the changeset history.

You've probably spent more time and effort typing angry comments here than you ever will entering helpful comments in your changes. For heaven's sake, just get on with it, it's hardly the end of the world. If you're so upset, just type '.' and hit return, no big deal - but that's not being very helpful to your colleagues, which is a shame.

The requirement that the comment be non-null is a reminder to get people into the habit. And just as some people are putting fuck you into their JOSM changesets, more people (I speculate) are leaving their Potlatch comments empty. So if you ignore the meaningless comments, and consider null to be equally meaningless, then (again, I speculate) JOSM is getting more meaningful comments. -- Russ Nelson - http://community.cloudmade.com/blog - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:RussNelson r...@cloudmade.com - Twitter: Russ_OSM - http://openstreetmap.org/user/RussNelson ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

more people (I speculate) are leaving their Potlatch comments empty. Perhaps I should RTFM (or RTFW), but I couldn't see anywhere obvious to put a comment (and doing a quick wiki search am no clearer). Checking my post-upgrade edits you can tell the three I did with JOSM and the one I did with Potlatch by the comments: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/EdLoach/edits I like Ed(not me)'s suggestion that it would be good to be able to edit these (our own) comments.

You can revise your changeset up until the point that it's closed. When the changeset is closed that's the indication to anti-vandalism/review tools that it's done and not going to vary.
