I can't agree or disagree here. It's just numbers. I am sure other opensource projects and especially wikipedia will have similar patterns. though their numbers might be completely different. until someone contacts a statistical sample of users and ask why this is pure speculation. some interesting questions - how many users have a GIS, Software background? - which tool, osm.org, wiki, lack of documentation, lack of support, … stopped them this could be done when we move to the new license and all active users have to be contacted anyway and might shed some light on the motivation just in case you forgot. Tom said it many times. fix it, send patches. I am sure Richard will say the same for Potlatch. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
