Re: [OSM-talk] StateOTMap 2015 video is "private"

[Bryce Cogswell via talk]

Surely OSM has the bandwidth to host these on our own servers. Is there a 
reason we don’t do that rather than relying on 3rd parties?

Re: [OSM-talk] id Editor auto-converts split polygons into MP relation

[Bryce Cogswell via talk]

I agree it’s a little counterintuitive for experienced users but I understand 
the rationale: If you’re splitting a building (closed way) how is the result 
valid unless it’s converted to a multipolygon?

Re: [OSM-talk] Examples of good paid mapping?

[Bryce Cogswell via talk]

Exactly. When companies do it right nobody knows they’re doing it.

Re: [OSM-talk] Could/should editors detect/disallow huge changeset bboxes?

This hints at a reasonable and not terribly difficult solution, which is for 
the editor to (optionally and automatically) split a single changeset into a 
sequence of changesets each with their own bbox. Maybe with an extra changeset 
tag that ties them together.
