My two cents. Our forum and Discord require "accounts" to be registered at the OSM level (via OAuth2 by registering for a volunteer Contributor account to OSM) and at "the Discord level," something else again. A mailing list "merely" requires an email address as an "account" to be registered with the talk-au mailing list, which could be argued (I begin, but offer nothing more than this assertion) that this is an "easier" (for "easiest" I add a ?) or at least "lower bar" and maybe "preferentially more anonymous" or "less privacy invasive" method, for those reasons.
Registering on talk-au doesn't require agreeing to what we agree to to become Contributors, "merely" to join a "talking community" about "things Australia regarding OSM." By providing an email address and registering with a mailman account, that's both "low-bar" and "fairly sharply focused" at the same time. A great benefit are many relevant eyeballs who read the "contact us questions" which seem to have arisen. While I'm not, I could imaging myself as an IT person at a National P&WS and reading the analysis above, nodding my head, agreeing that it isn't a very high bar to jump over to have a chat. And then, having a chat. > On Nov 1, 2023, at 8:52 PM, Graeme Fitzpatrick <[email protected]> wrote: > > DWG have received a > "Request for a Liaison Officer: > To enhance the accuracy of OpenStreetMap data pertaining to the NSW National > Parks and Wildlife Service" > > This has come up in regard to tracks that they say they have previously > requested be deleted (I'm contacting them to confirm just which?) > > What would be the easiest way for them to contact us with questions like this > - here / Forum / Discord? > > Question posed in all three places > > Thanks > > Graeme > _______________________________________________ > Talk-au mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
