Ye, it would certainly be good to be more aggressive in cleaning up up the Proposals page, it is hard to casually browse for "live" proposals. Currently, the only mechanism is to move proposals into the "Needs cleanup/modification" and "Works in Progress/Pending" sections at the bottom - which are roughly equivalent to the place sick proposals go to die. I propose: 1) Mark redundant proposals with "This proposal appears to be redundant or duplicated. Unless there are any objections it will be removed on or after dd-mm-yyyy" and leave it there until you or someone else is next doing a clean-up round. 2) More generally, any proposal that has been there for more than a year (see the pages "history" tab) be removed. Looking at a few other proposals, this may be a little too aggressive as the "riverbank" http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Large_rivers proposal would go (or perhaps is should?). An alternative would be to remove any proposal that has been there a year and had no substantive activity for 6 months. Here the dates for your example: Created - 29 August 2006 Last substantive comment - Dec 2006 Last comment of any kind - Apr 2007 Mike Stockholm _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
