 Ye, it would certainly be good to be more aggressive in cleaning up
 up the Proposals page, it is hard to casually browse for live proposals.
 

 very hard, i think that's part of the reason so few people look
 through - there's so much rubbish
   
I wouldn't call it rubbish ;-)


What about moving proposals not actively worked upon to a new 
inactive_proposals page (or simply to the rejected features page)?

Simply removing stuff has the disadvantage that the former discussion 
get's lost for future reference.

 Currently, the only mechanism is to move proposals into the Needs
 cleanup/modification and Works in Progress/Pending sections at the
 bottom - which are roughly equivalent to the place sick proposals go to die.

yeah, i saw that, but i'm not a fan. a vast % fall into one of those categories

 I propose:

 1) Mark redundant proposals with This proposal appears to be
 redundant or duplicated.  Unless there are any objections it will be
 removed on or after dd-mm- and leave it there until you or
 someone else is next doing a clean-up round.

that's a very good idea, i will do that for lots. i've already moved
some duplicates, see earlier concerning roundend/turning_circle

 2) More generally, any proposal that has been there for more than a
 year (see the pages history tab) be removed.  Looking at a few
 other proposals, this may be a little too aggressive as the
 riverbank
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Large_rivers
 proposal would go (or perhaps is should?).   An alternative would be
 to remove any proposal that has been there a year and had no
 substantive activity for 6 months.

i'll stick with the warning, and give each one two weeks to be resurrected

 Here the dates for your example:

 Created - 29 August 2006
 Last substantive comment - Dec 2006
 Last comment of any kind - Apr 2007

yes, there's a lot of that

Is there a reason why the waterway=riverbank has not gone through voting?  With 
the multipolygon relation for islands it seems to work well. 
cheers, 
Chris

[OSM-talk] redundant proposal? - man_made=fenced_compounds

2008-01-03 Thread Robin Paulson
in my quest to tidy the proposals page on the wiki, some proposals
have come up which appear to be redundant

is there an acknowledged way of removing them, without going through
the whole comments/opinions/voting process?

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Fenced_compounds

is a good example

thanks
