[OSM-talk] anonymous contributions still allowed ?
Hi all, By accident, I found some contributions made in March 16th this year but with some mistakes. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.25977&lon=7.42248&zoom=16&layers=B0FT As usual, I wanted to contact the person but I was surprised to see that this recent edition is anonymous: http://crschmidt.net/osm/history.html?type=way&id=23316471 Potlach history just says 'anonymous'. The way was created with JOSM. I thought that such anonymous editions are not possible since Nov. 2007. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Disabling_anonymous_edits http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2007-October/018893.html I suspect that this person was registered before this date. Is it possible that such people have a kind of 'privilege' and can stay anonymous for ever ?

JOSM and the main API permit them. cheers Richard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

And is something planned in the future for those who registered before Nov. 2007 (e.g. force the 'public' edition flag in the osm user profile) or in the main API (e.g. disable anonymous edition) ? regards, Pieren ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

It's just storing up trouble for later, when and if we want to make licence-related changes...

The information on who did what is in the database, and always has been. It's just that unless you're "public", only the admins can see it. So it will not add to the amount of trouble we're going to have with a license change.
