[talk-au] Infractions group?
It's happened a couple of time where people have publicly named and shamed some company or person on either a mailing list or diary entires or their own personal blogs. I don't think this is the right way to handle things, and while these claims need to be dealt with I think we should first try and contact people about properly attributing OSM, otherwise it may only end up backing people into a corner and we may loose a valuable opportunity. Here's a slashdot post from last year that details what happens within the GPL community: http://news.slashdot.org/story/09/11/10/1540242/SFLC-Finds-One-New-GPL-Violation-Per-Day ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I dont want to have to go and select my background layer everytime I reload potlatch. Not all potlatch users like the default settings, and Im glad to know that if I make custom changes, such as typing in a background layer URL, that it will be saved for next time.

Rather than a turnstile, more like the existing "barrier=stile", which allows a walker to cross a fence using rudimentary stairs/steps to climb it. A very simple one in the top photo here: http://www.leapingstiles.co.uk/ I already use that tag for conventional stiles on walking tracks. Thanks for the horse_stile find, reinforced by Simon Biber's research. I'm more than happy to go with "barrier=horse_stile", given that established usage. I'll change the cavalettis I've already tagged, and look at putting a note on the map features page when I take some photos.

There's plenty of evidence now that the correct term is "cavaletti". I've also found a BNT area coordinator, and active horsewoman, referring to them by that term.
