Indeed, but sometimes it's appropriate to give a "community heads-up". I'd certainly not seen the notes issue raised elsewhere, so it was useful for me to see this thread.
Also discussing with the wider community is sometimes the only way to get a change to happen. StreetComplete originally had "1 change per changeset", and the timeline of that issue is interesting:
21st March: Issue https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues/21 created. Maintainer initially asks why it is a problem.
30th March: Forum thread https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855 created
7th April: Maintainer announces fix to problem (initially in forum rather than on Github).
So in this case it does seem to be the German forum thread that resulted in the fix - and the thread title ("StreetComplete - die nächste suboptimale App") could even be described as "ranting", too.
Ah yes, your lovely deprecated editor which still lets users create old-style multipolygons on a daily basis. How I love your work. See the irony in the above?
Well if you're going to be offensive, at least try and be accurate :) Best Regards, Andy _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
