Personally I find this a missing link in discussion on changes that have been made to the data. A private message may be appropriate if you do not want public discussion, but often like the current debate on the talk-gb list about 'automatic updates', people who were not originally involved spot problems that they can either add their own fix for, but a note on the problematic original change may well flag other similar corrections which private messaging can never initiate. I would probably go on to propose that grouping a large number of similar but data wise unrelated changes be flagged as bad practice so that elements of a change CAN be discussed better via this mechanism. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
