Like it or not, potlach *is* the source of quite a bit of accidental vandalism. It's easy to use for beginners, but they will *not* understand the implications of what they are doing. The sanbox helped a lot, but obviously not enough. I believe you need some sort of online "buffer" for potlach and a prominent "submit button" that everyone understand the implications on. Maybe even with a warning-page that you need to go through unless you have gone to your preferences box to turn it off. Yes, it's gonna be a bit annoying to new users. But not nearly as annoying as having to clean up hard-worked map data. -- - Vegard Engen, member of the first RFC1149 implementation team. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
