There is at least one more perspective: you (meaning OSMF and OSM contributors) suck it up and deal with the consequences of your actions. What's happening now was predicted way back, and I know I told you so doesn't actually help anybody, but it does mean it's unreasonable for you to act all surprised and offended about what's going on. That's the point. I'm not surprised, I'm not offended. I believe the disgruntled have made their point, and I definitely supported them while the debate was active. Now that it's over, and a done deal, I think it would be much better for them to now (begrudingly, reluctantly, ...) tick the damn box and move on. I wouldn't even be surprised or particularly offended if they also chose to have nothing further to do with this community. But to put in thousands of hours of work to create free map data that can be used by anyone, and then to finish up having contributed nothing strikes me as a spectacularly selfish act of self-immolation.

Re: [talk-au] Splitter decliners
Mike wrote I also want to check what happens when an accepting user has subsequently made changes over the top. Yes Mike this is the real problem. If we just revert a decliner edit then all acceptor edits after that will go up in smoke. Whereas I believe that in the licence change the DWG will be able to (for a lot of cases) get rid of decliner edits) without affecting subsequent acceptor ones. I'm looking into the maxspeed edit problem (with expert help) and intend to sort out the boundary issues to some extent (see other post). Apart from that I'm up to my eyeballs in remapping various areas around Australia and overseas so as usual I'll ask a lot of questions but have few answers :-( Once the licence change is complete and we have put back all our data, I intend to get heavily into writing programs to use OSM data. (The first program will be for my phone -to warn me when I'm about to be attacked by a magpie on my new (1st in 35 years) push bike). I have a few questions about tempory hazard data in OSM but that'd better wait for another day! Nick ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
[talk-au] Power lines and footpaths
Hi all, Whilst cleaning up Canberra I have been very careful to remap everything that I have deleted either from my own survey or Bing or both. I also reconnect up everything - though I'm sure keep right will prove me wrong in 10's of cases. However some areas of Canberra are so well endowed with decliner footpaths and power lines that after one night of remapping these from Bing, I'm of the opinion that in order to save the road structures from damage, I am going to have to just delete decliner footpaths and power lines and map them later in the year (from Bing). I won't delete any that have joint cycle info and any that have bridge (or tunnel) implications, I will remap properly. Does anyone have a problem with this? Warning: answering yes may be seen as an offer to help me remap Canberra :-) ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
