Something similar appears to have been attempted in the German community with the new "Wochennotiz" ( e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/osm%20dortmund/diary/11315 ) This in general summarizes the various things that have happened in the OSM-community in the last week including the various communications channels like the german and english forum, the german ML and the various other mailinglists including legal-talk if it is of relevance to a wider audiance. It then appears to then be cross-posted to the OSM diary, the forum and the mailinglist in order to give easy access to the important information that is spread accross the about 500 communication channels that OSM has, without requiring everything to get posted 500 times and thus allow to keep things focused. So I think if something like that could be done on the English lists too, that would help everyone to better choose what they are interested in and what not, without missing important developments, be they legal, technical or social.

Frederik, looks like we are getting closer to your beloved monthly printed high gloss OSM members magazin... ;-) -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Legal-discussion-on-talk-tp5420322p5421954.html Sent from the General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
