We often improve or remap the work of other mappers without seeking permission first. So contacting mappers in advance of cleaning an area is not required. I check in with no-response accounts as I check an area. I'm not contacting every decliner when I clean objects they touched but I do try to send a note to each non-responder. Decliners have stated their position and I'm not interested in haranguing them. I've found some non-responders who didn't remember that they had contributed data to OSM. And some who have started mapping again. That's awesome. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
