Ci-dessous un message que j'ai envoyé au DWG en réaction à cet abus d'autorité manifeste.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Eric Marsden <eric.mars...@free.fr> Subject: Abuse of authority: account blocks related to French cadastre imports To: d...@osmfoundation.org Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2012 12:27:30 +0200 (31 seconds ago) Hello, DWG member Paul Norman has implemented a 24 hour account block on contributor Marc Sibert, citing as justification the import guideline concerning use of a dedicated account. Marc Sibert is a very active member of the French OSM community, and there is overwhelming agreement in the French Openstreetmap community that this aspect of the import guidelines is not appropriate for semi-automated imports from the French cadastre. <http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Marcussacapuces91> I would therefore like to request that this block be revoked, and that DWG accept that established local mapping pratices take precedence over ex cathedra dogma. Please understand that the semi-automated imports from the French cadastre are different from traditional imports in a number of ways: - contributors make a substantial amount of work on the raw data before sending it to OSM: correcting overlaps, removing useless nodes, removing duplicate ways, merging with existing (manually traced) buildings. This work often takes multiple hours for a single administrative entity. In no way is this bot-like activity. - contributors often trace roads and tag their names from the cadastre within the same changeset. - cadastre semi-automated imports are, by definition, highly localized geographically. The French community is well aware of the existence of some abusive cadastre imports, where contributors have not cleaned the raw data before importing and have not completed the highway data. However, these are generally identified quickly and the lazy/uninformed contributors are pointed to the cadastre import guidelines. Please note that this is a DISTINCT PROBLEM FROM USE OF A SEPARATE ACCOUNT. Thank you for your prompt resolution of this error, -- Eric Marsden _______________________________________________ Talk-fr mailing list Talk-fr@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-fr
