Heads up. The Data Working Group is aiming to develop a policy to govern directed editing in OSM.
Comments and suggestions are welcome. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Frederik Ramm" <frede...@remote.org> Date: Nov 21, 2017 8:56 AM Subject: [Osmf-talk] Directed Editing Policy To: "osmf-t...@openstreetmap.org" <osmf-t...@openstreetmap.org> Cc: Hi, the DWG has prepared a policy on "Directed Editing" (former working title "Organised Editing Policy"). Read it here: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Directed_Editing_Policy The policy picks up (but doesn't slavishly follow) the results of our survey, where it became obvious that transparency and communications are what mappers find most important about organised mapping efforts. The policy replaces the somewhat fuzzy terms of "paid" and "organised" editing with the concept of "directed editing", which is essentially when you're required to edit OSM (because of work, a school assignment etc) and/or when you're told by others exactly what and how to map. The DWG is interested in feedback on this proposal. Are you currently involved in some form of editing that would be covered by the policy? Does the policy present an unnecessary obstacle for some activities? If you have witnessed organised mapping efforts that caused problems - would these problems have been avoided if people had adhered to the proposed policy?
