From the experience in the last years I think it will not work well this way because of the anarchy, lack of time, endless discussions … this wiki page is huge and it will be easier to work on a topic at a time. Set a schedule for completion date discuss till then and document the agreement in the wiki. And then move any discussion elsewhere to have a compact reference as the main page. Just to make clear I am not calling for a dictatorship agreement can be also to disagree and variants can be documented on the main page too with a comment that there is multiple flavors. already now it seems to go into direction of endless discussion with no final agreement as many discussions before. Not sure why I don't get emails for updates on the wiki so it's really hard to follow. > _______________________________________________ > Talk-us mailing list > Talk-us@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us > > _______________________________________________ > Talk-us mailing list > Talk-us@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
