Hi everyone
Thank you all for your interest in the import of trees in Birmingham. If we'd realised they were this interesting we certainly wouldn't have gone down the road we did. We genuinely thought that the trees of Birmingham wouldn't interest anyone outside of Birmingham and discussion with the local community meant what it said. I believe the latter is is still an open question and worthy of discussion in a separate thread. I'm starting a new thread to discuss how we recover the situation, please don't descend it into a death spiral of negativity which solves nothing and just leaves everyone angry and upset. So thank you to Harry Wood for setting the process going with a wikipage. I've followed up by creating a dedicated import account with which I propose to eventually complete the import and of course do any bulk edits on the existing data that become necessary. *For these two omissions I believe I have been justifiably chastised and I am duly contrite. My real fault is being too enthusiastic so reeling me back in has done me good.* On the subject of fixing things, my block seems to have been precipitated by my not participating in changeset discussions of which I still remain oblivious because apparently the automatic email notification system breaks randomly and it seems I'm one of its victims. I can't fix this and I think it's a problem of at least two years standing. Can I ask that it be given some priority? How many others are being caught like this and being less thick-skinned than me are turned off participating again? In the meantime is there any workround for viewing changeset discussions? Regards Brian Lighten up everyone, OpenStreetMap is meant to be fun. If it's stopped being fun: stop!
