A completely different community project "Discogs" has following policy: - You can subscribe to news in area of your interest. - Voting on new data: Tell, how correct and accurate are these changes are. - Vote is a privilege, new users don't have vote privilege. Automatic system gives or removes privilege to vote depending on defined criteria (number of correct submissions, voting frequency etc.) - New data appear with "needs vote" flag, even if submitted by users with vote privileges. - Data with more votes are considered as valid. One then can decide to use or ignore data without sufficient confirmation. -- Stanislav Brabec http://www.penguin.cz/~utx _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
