That's about as ironic as ray-ay-ayn on your wedding day... But you've just supplied a very good illustration. When developers choose to engage with the community using the channels that the community favours, the result is better for everyone. P2 actually _doesn't_ let users create old-style multipolygons on a daily basis, and hasn't done for some months now: https://github.com/systemed/potlatch2/commit/d53e6c544596fc89da387adec7bdf41ef589383c I implemented this as a result of being aware of Jochen's fixup programme through OSM diaries, IRC, the lists and elsewhere. I didn't insist on a P2 issue being filed as a requirement to do something (IIRC, Jochen did file a generalised "this fixup is taking place" issue but not a specific one about P2's default tagging). Your assertion was that requiring an issue to be filed on a tracker was universally "how software development works". It isn't how OSM works, and OSM is better for it. I have always watched the lists and elsewhere. I know Bryan, for iD, similarly keeps a good-natured eye on various channels (and is more patient than I've ever been). The JOSM developers have always been very responsive too. It would perhaps be kinder if you were to let OSM developers speak for themselves (and I'm very pleased to see Tobias has in this thread) rather than second-guessing them. > Ranting on the Internet does not make software better, providing > constructive feedback via the appropriate channel (i.e. project > issue tracker) does. I am not defending and do not defend abuse of developers. I have posted repeatedly on this list and elsewhere to that effect. Who would've thought? It figures. :) Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Street-Complete-tp5897501p5897578.html Sent from the General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
