You've raised an important concern regarding communications (especially to newbies) related to PH mapping related questions. By default, we use this mailinglist and the wiki, but, as you've said (including others who pointed out this as well), sometimes, mailinglist is not the best way for newbie mappers. Mailinglist seems to be too geeky for most people. Personally, I get a lot of OSM questions from the osm messaging facility, direct email and facebook messages Should we revive the discussion again to use the forums? -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
