makes sense to sort out a policy now
currently if i see something which may be a problem i identify the mapper,
message them through OSM and hopefully have a discussion
i try to be open in this communication, not starting with accusations etc
because i want to open communication not start a war.
(recipients of my messages might see this differently ;-) )
welcome them to OSM, suggest they join the mailing list, and say that i've
noticed their edits in X
and finally get around to what i really want to say
and the other thing is not to do it when hot under the collar after seeing
your work changed, but wait a day.....
