Just to give a counterweight (because you are the second person de-emphasizing the free tools argument) : I strongly value that openstreetmap not only provides 'free' data but also unencumbered tools to work with that data. Obviously the closer to the hearth of the project (and potlatch is very close to it), the more so. > I'd try to be optimistic and keep developing -- raise the bar for any new > editor as high as you can make it. While I have no opinion either way on the whole issue brought up in this thread, I can only agree with this. cu bart _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
