None of which explains how, on a practical level, it is supposed to work. As I understand it the PD database would operate in parallel and people who wanted to would upload to both that and OSM but while that can work for new objects I don't see how it can work where an existing object is being edited. Not that I really care about how it works unless it is an official part of OSM that I and the other admins are going to be expected to provide resources for, which is where we came in with a request for resources to be allocated to the project. > We all want to improve OSM data quantity and quality.

No, but some of us are trying to work to achieve the best consensus possible within the existing project while others appear to be trying to fragment the project.
