to be fair: he didn't write (others) should f**k off, what he meant was "clearly state this somewhere and tell everyone else to fuck off". Thus I agree that this might not be adequate language, you shouldn't critisize him for that, probably he wasn't aware because English is not his primary language. On the argument I agree though: make your own mailing lists for your fork. It's probably OK to announce it here (with an URL where to go, which was actually missing in your announcement), but further discussions should then be brought to the place of your fork, not inside the resources of OSM. I also agree it would be absurd to have OSM handle over the account data of its contributors (and is against almost any privacy law at least in Europe). There is also no logics in that: people who want to can simply create a new account with their old credentials on the fork site (I'm not planning to join the fork, but if I was I surely wouldn't use the same pw I used for OSM). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
