I have not defined progress and don't need to for the argument i made. It applies for any definition of progress you might have. Or in other words: Here it just means the opposite of stagnation. Most people probably agree that in the OSM context the ultimate goal is to create the best map of the world. And that for this you need a global community of active local mappers. But this and all the details around it is a very different subject for which this is not really the right venue. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
