If you think that this solution (Overpass popup) would be suitable for the main website, why don't you just develop it and propose the merge instead of throwing around accusations? Why would anyone care about my -1 which is my technical opinion (dependency on Overpass API) and not really any "political" sabotage as you seem to imply (and which I won't even dignify with an answer...)? > > The task was then postponed for indefinite time, because you > promised to do some work you have not done since October. > I don't recall having any action item relevant to clikable POI's, if I did then I failed to do it because I was/am working on OWL and that's not a crime.
