Even with 1, you will probably still need to do 2 since someone somewhere will keep adding military tagging because they feel it's the right way to do things because they're calling a spade a spade. > 4. on the russian wiki-vote I would suggest that the sponsor withdraw the > vote on the basis that the whole community worldwide is working on ideas > to come to a solution which will not endanger mapping in Russia, or China, > or North Korea. The problem in Russia is that people are taking pride in being able to map things to the nth degree, and the local military base just happens to exist there, while other people don't want to get into trouble want them removed. I think this will be very difficult to win, you only have to look at countries like China that declare all mapping without a license illegal, and with the kind of filtering China applies to the internet to see this. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
