Thanks OSM community

Here is a draft of a letter to Aaron. He may be listening to this list and will read it. I also will post it as a changeset comment. The letter is a bit rough, edits are welcome.

Tony

Hi Aaron

My sincere thanks on behalf of the Australian Open Street Map community for your many contributions to the map.

Unfortunately, there is some dissatisfaction in the Australian Open Street Map community with some of your larger edits including wiki changes on bikes and paths and the deletion of the Perth bike route network.

We ask you to seek consensus from the community before making large changes, particularly changes which reverse prior understandings and are large in scope.

Your changes to the wiki on bikes and paths are a particular issue in this letter. We propose a six step process in reverting the Australian Tagging Guidelines to community understandings of tagging practice.

 1 get community support from talk-au for this process
 2 Contact Aaron and get his agreement
 3 Thorsten rolls back the wiki to an agreed state
 4 Dian tidies up the wiki
 5 Aaron does not edit the wiki until Dian has finished
6 we do not call for DWG intervention unless a party will not follow the agreed process

We are at step 2. It is important that we know you have read this letter. Please reply by changeset comment or better by a post to https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/

This is your opportunity to put your case. There is a lot of discussion on talk-au regarding your edits. I suggest you read it and respond. Please let us know whether you agree with the 6 step process and if you do not agree, your reasons.

Thanks
Tony Forster
