Hi Paul, based on the 3-4 changesets I've just reviewed from them, it doesn't seem super-obvious to me (apart from the rather odd changeset comment: "Many kids can be found playing here and walkers enjoy this area at all times") that they are vandalising. They've been mapping for less than a

Hi all, Thank you Toby for you vigilance. I do share Clifford's concern about OSM being tweaked/vandalised. Systematic bias put into the OSM base towards maximising benefits for a minority of users is a threat. Especially when the primary interest of these users is not OSM in itself. Also, to

Hi John, You seem not to imagine for a second people in the South can take initiatives and do things by themselves, without resorting to a charity from the North. We agree charities can be effective (e.g. when there is a quake or typhoon) by making possible a quick release of imagery. Then only
