So, "truth on the ground" rule applies only to mappers from local community? Other mappers have no right to apply this rule? If I saw those signs in a vacation trip, or I use other free sources, am I not allowed to change them? By the way, have You read DWG decision? Clearly no. [quote] It is not sufficient to execute some kind of proposal process and say "you can participate in the vote if you want". We acknowledge that this is difficult, especially given the rather un-civil way in which some Crimea mappers have behaved in this discussion, but if they are not included in the solution then the problem cannot be resolved. [/quote] How community is defined? Are one person in some suburb or desert community? If so, he can establish any policies he want. And when he is not cooperative with rest of bigger community, than they have to accept his decision. Do I have be anywhere locally to be part of community? What if I tell You, I am living in Amsterdam? I find some more people, we decide to tag buildings with "place_to_sleep" in our suburb/town/region? How the rest of dutch community will react? I am trying to show that there are much bigger problem with name tag in many parts of the world, not only Ukraine! _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
