Like all good OSM activity, discussion occurred in the pub. We may or may not have got our knickers in a twist when we did but usually we get the things sorted out. The Naptan and tree updates were discussed at length within our small west mids group and I was (and am) happy to support. Brian has been doing a fantastic job working with local groups who have data and the last thing I would want to see is his efforts squashed. It's quite possible that some of what gets added is crap and its also possible we have some inappropriate tags, but let us get the stuff into OSM and we can sort it out where it's not perfect. As a local group we generally know what we are doing, we've been doing it now for over 10 years!

No, he was sent this message: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/1271 because it appeared that the link between changeset discussions and his email inbox was broken. > There is clearly consensus for them in the local mapping community, > and a well-defined and transparent plan for the process has been > published. That was one of the questions asked in changeset discussions - can you please link to where the "well-defined and transparent plan" for the "trees" import was published, and where discussion took place? > A well-respected member of the community should not be treated this way. No-one doubts that Brian is well-respected member of the OSM community - few if any have put in as much effort as him over the years. Unfortunately even well-respected community members can have email filters go rogue on them - it's not the first time that it's happened and I'm sure it won't be the last :) Best Regards, Andy (cc:ing talk@ because I know there's been discussion, including on IRC, outside the West Mids about the trees import and as similar sort of council work is being outsourced elsewhere, it's useful to discuss it more widely). _______________________________________________ Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list talk-gb-westmidla...@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
