Can we get back to a more interesting level of discussion than looking at how bad roundabouts were mapped despite uploading buildings years later ? I posted a couple of question on the "Import guidelines" talk page on the wiki regarding the "dedicated account". I'd like to have some answers because after searching the wiki and the OSMF web site, I could not find any discussion about the now required dedicated account. This is a major governance problem for me, some guidelines are updated by someone on a wiki page, something that was a recommendation becomes mandatory (on Nov. 15 2011 by Richard Fairhurst) and then some contributor get blocked based on this wiki page edit that comes from nowhere. If it works like that, it is worth updating the wiki page(s) and set/modify rules on our own. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Import/Guidelines#dedicated_account -- Christian Quest - OpenStreetMap France - http://openstreetmap.fr/u/cquest _______________________________________________ Talk-fr mailing list Talk-fr@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-fr
