I've heard this theme over and over again, that the majority of undecided users have likely just changed email addresses, and aren't even aware that their contributions are going to be lost. Why don't we try and do a little PR campaign? Make up a press release, and at least try and get some of the nerd-friendly sites (Slashdot comes to mind) to carry a prominent article/post with a catchy headline like "Ever contributed to OpenStreetMap? If you don't act by April 1 your work will be lost". Create a simple list of the names of undecided users so people can quickly search for usernames they typically use, in case they forgot. Who knows, this might catch a lot of people. -Josh _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
