Crowdsourced means that we survey the data indivdually. > Why doesn't public-domain data that the crowd has funded count as > crowdsourced? Because the folks collecting that data aren't part of our community; they're often low wage, low skilled workers looking to do as little as they can. That doesn't mean the data is all bad, but it's not from our community. That doesn't mean all imports are bad; in fact, I think some imports can be good, but there is a distinction to be made. - Serge _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
