How would you critique PL *without* implicating it's author? Because the softly softly approach has been going on for years and you an call the progress at best glacial. It's simply not kept up with all the other progress. So, how would you fix it? I suspect you'd ask nicely, offer to pay, offer to pay other people... And we've exahusted all of those. Hence, I posted a whole lot of options which nobody liked, and in the meantime you have seen some genuine emails from newbies and those working with them on how hard it all is. The best we can offer right now is more evolutionary progress as outlined in Andys email. I say that's just not good enough and it lets down all those people. I hear you that you want proof and I'll go and build that, but it just slows it all down again. > > because an adult would be prepared to apologise. This is starting to get silly that everyone else can have a free for all which I largely ignore, but if I legitimatly call someone out, even in negative tones, thats a crime of the highest order and not only that you don't even go check that i apologised already! > > Liz > > _______________________________________________ > talk mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk > _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
