Well, I am personally going to just give up on the serbian enclaves (and serbian dominated northern kosovo) and invoke the Map on the ground rule. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Disputes#On_the_Ground_Rule
In those places that the Republic of Kosovo Gov has installed new multilingual signs, those areas we will continue to map as such. In those areas where they still have the old signs and the people consider themselves part of serbia, there is no point in giving them a different name. Our job as mappers is not to change the world, but to map it as it is. About the border, I think that people need to stop messing with the admin levels, leave them as level 2. I have brought this up with the DWG. but if you cannot stop yourselves, at least pick a level and not randomly change it between 3 and 4. thanks, mike On Sun, Dec 11, 2011 at 11:22 AM, Dragutin Cvetkovic <[email protected]> wrote: > Nothing, Kosovo territory is under dispute, as we are all very aware, > of, ergo, this is in line of the OSM policy. > If you ask me, UN1244 is pretty clear on this matter and as such > Serbian should be primary anyway on all toponyms...
