Re: [OSM-talk] Anonymous editing
Looking backward into archives, it seems that only one or two persons are blocking the change... I know one friend who stopped contributing to the project when he saw his work anonymously downgraded and how easy it was. Probably he is not the only one in this case. All arguments have been already presented and discussed x time and nothing change. I don't know what else we can do to convince them.

It's been impossible to create any new anonymous users since the hack day about a year ago anyway [1]. The only thing that needs doing is denying edits if the user's public flag isn't set, with a suitable error code. Submit 1x patch against API 0.6 / API 0.5 is my suggestion.

I'd certainly like to. If the consensus is that it's nothing to do with 0.6 we can alternatively make it part of the relicensing :-) Postscript on all the usual stuff: no it doesn't mean people can find out where you are - you can still keep your GPS tracks private, it's just what you've edited. No you don't have to set a home location if you don't want to. No it's not a loss of privacy, you can make up a completely random username and no-one ever gets to know the e-mail address behind it. No it isn't anything to do with the licence. No we're not making existing anonymous work public, we're just asking them to go public from now on to continue editing. I'd like to promote the term untraceable editing or something similar. What we're left with is still anonymous, just that we (non-server-admin) people can differentiate between two anonymous accounts. We'll still have no idea who they are.
