Thanks for the link Richard (I should become a member and jump on over there!),
Very casual mapper here though so my membership will have to wait. I spent about an hour following a couple of those threads though. For a start, and because I don't see threads like this unless I'm linked to them, is there any reason why forums are not used? I get that it adds a moderation overhead where there is minimal effort now but would the benefit of easily accessible information in the forms these types of discussion be of greater benefit to a community none the wiser? I get that its up to the individual to themselves aware of the access points but forums expose information much more easily than these lists do. I suggest also emoticons would serve to soften tone / bridge the Non-verbal communication gap and alleviate some miscommunication that might occur with lists. The other point of interest is the huge amount of effort that went into documenting the Working Group activities (So. Many. Working. Groups. So. Many. IRC. Minutes). I didn't realise. I'm also interested in the 'tension' I feel between the Not-For-Profit situation OSM is "in" and Corporate interests (Ref: [Osmf-talk] Death and evolution) and how there is a desire to form a Funding WG (Ref: [Osmf-talk] Funding WG). Cheers, Jason Only OSMF members can post to osmf-talk, but anyone can read. > > > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2014-September/date.html > > Richard >
