Attention was drawn to the OSM user RR8 last night on IRC. It appears
that they have been producing /apparently/ deconstructive edits at a

Well that's the problem - the best thing we have at the moment is the
foundation and it's working groups. In this case the Data Working Group
is the appropriate one I guess.
I think a crowdsourced approach against vandalism would scale better
than dedicated working-groups. See my

This users editing was careless, ignorant, and whimsical. I have yet
