Just so that it is clear to our dear readers: there is no doubt that had the mappers in Poland used separate accounts (including Andrzej himself)) for the UMP imports it would have been substantially less work to determine what needed to be redacted. What is correct is that it would still have required a substantial amount of effort to determine which changesets/objects could be kept from such accounts. This is due to the UMP imports essentially not being from one source, but from multiple individual UMP contributors which may or may not have given permission to retain their data. A very special case, which is unlikely to ever occur again. The UMP imports show nicely how broken at least object level source tagging is, a large number of objects have/were infected by source tags from UMP imports without actually being derived from such data requiring heuristics to determine if they could be kept or not. Simon PS: the data that Andrzej was referring to that was mistakenly redacted was restored and is still available in the DB. The history of those objects is currently still redacted since there is currently no method to unredact objects. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
