Correct me if I'm wrong, but MOM development is closed, right? It's not FOSS?
So why is there a requirement for "a new OSM mailing list for mom" development, when the OSM community cannot develop it? Perhaps this email subject is misleading me. If its *not* for development, is it for the developers to get and respond to feature suggestions? Perhaps you could think about using forums (a thread in the OSM forums could work) or email newsletter to communicate with your users. cheers, Tim On 8/20/08, elvin ibbotson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > From: Rory McCann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 20 August 2008 10:49:14 BDT > To: Patrick Aljord <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: Talk Openstreetmap <talk@openstreetmap.org> > Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] Mailing Lists for MOM development > > > > Patrick Aljord wrote: > > Heh, I forgot about those, you do realize though that even if the > mailing list are not hosted on google, as long as they are public > Google will index them and collect all the data they can as the "Big > Brother" they are.
