I'm a little on the fence ... the point about maintaining the data is valid, and nothing has been done to properly address using later updates to the source data to correct information already on the map. However that is no reason to not allow these smaller packets of data. It's imports like 'Tiger' which are just so unmaintainable that needs better tools? If a lamp post is moved it's actually very easy to run a diff between versions of uploads! It just needs an archive of the current import linked to the change set. Of cause what would be nice is if people using data like bus stops, lamp posts and so on could provide an update back to the original source when corrections are identified. I doubt that is going to happen any time soon, so personally I'd say in this case reverting was just petty ... and that this data should be put back ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
