[talk-au] Discussion I: Consultation ends and OSM Wiki starts
# Discussion I: Consultation ends and OSM Wiki starts Thanks for your support and assistance with the ACT OSM mapping project. The consultation phase ends now and I will take your comments and consolidate the information into OSM Wiki pages in the ACT section. I expect it will be an overview page and links to subpages for each topic. It is better on the smartphone screen in this way as there is not too much text per page. Once the ACT OSM Wiki page is updated, it will be open for your comments again. This could take about a month. I will put a short note in this forum when the ACT OSM page has been updated.

Re: [talk-au] Discussion H: public transport – the end game
This is a good point. Is there a moderator who could check if something like this is the case?

For me main problem is "fire and forget" mode. Is he even reading replies? Maybe he is unable to respond because he had monthly digest or something similarly problematic?___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, one thing that it is perhaps worth mentioning is that in most mail clients it's perfectly possible to "file unseen" certain emails at the recipient end (provided you're not reading the digest, of course). I think that I'd struggle to make sense of some OSM mailing lists without that as an option.

Re: [talk-au] Discussion H: public transport – the end game
Frederik, the mailing list has been very patient and responsive to every email Herbert has sent. They have provided many thoughtful and positive responses and suggestions on how he can engage with the mailing list. There has been no response from him. For the health of the mailing list, it would make sense to limit his communications so we're not bombarded daily with his emails. Herbert if you wish to respond and acknowledge this email, please do prove me wrong. The community welcomes new OpenStreetMappers.

Re: [talk-au] Discussion H: public transport – the end game
Ewen, thank you for trying to be constructive in this matter. Herbert seems to have considerable difficulties with the medium It sounds like he has been collecting issues for a while and now tries to resolve them all at once, which can overload the capacity of the mailing list for reasonable discussion, as well as his own. Reaching out in the way you have done it here is commendable and I hope that Herbert will take you up on the offer. I would like to appeal to those who are already calling for a "mailing list ban" to have more patience. Mailing lists can be difficult to handle for someone who is new to the game and has perhaps spent a lifetime using other, more formalised forms of communication. Yes, there can be times when we need to kick someone out because productive discussion is not possible, but I feel that it we should try and be welcoming even to people who don't "get" us at their first attempt. They can turn out to be valuable members of the community, bringing different views to the table and broadening our horizon.
