Would a one-off mailing to users who registered more than three months ago and have no edits and no traces, with a link to an anonymous online survey be within the bounds of Openstreetmap's policy ? Again, this is not about the users with just one edit (it seems that those are well understood) - it is about users with no edit at all. Here is a rough outline of what it could be (of course, any such project will require a wiki page and much debate...) : "Greetings from Openstreetmap - we have noticed that you created an account x months ago and have not yet edited the map... We would love to know why, so that we can provide better information to new users - would you care to answer this anonymous survey ? I created an account and have not edited the map yet because : - I thought that registering was necessary for using Openstreetmap or accessing the data - I thought that registering would grant access to advanced features - I found the tools and technical requirements too complicated" In any case, if you have any question, don't hesitate to head to http://help.openstreetmap.org - fellow cartographers will be delighted to help you overcome any hurdle you may encounter" Whatever such message ends up being designed could be sent to a few hundred users for testing before sending it to a slightly larger fraction and then to the whole population. Do you think such a survey would help ? Would that be too spammy for Openstreetmap's taste ? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
