I've always equated "edited the project" with "submitted a changeset". Submitting a changeset is something the OSM values and is relatively easy bar to reach. I would also certainly consider some exceptions. 1) Spammers, once in a while, submit diary entries full of spam links. 2) Some accounts have submitted changeset of bad data in the form of either vandalism, or map spam. 3) Hypothetically, a contributor could upload gpx tracks and never edit. I suggest that 1) and 2) are not active contributors. I think 3) could be valuable, but is not necessarily a contributor. Does anybody know if there are any accounts / users in category 3? Thoughts? p.s. I've changed the subject: for this sub-thread. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
