I've put a note on that talk page, but I think this needs to be opened up a bit, since it IS quite an important area. Should the database ONLY contain currently existing mapping information? That is the area that is getting a 'no' on the 4th_Dimension page although it is not actually WORDED in that way! (Hence my comment there about a poll not being appropriate - it's the wrong question?) There are two types of history being generated as we go along, the history of when information is added and updated, but also now, the history of CHANGES to an area, which from my own point of view is MORE important than simply mapping the current situation. Roads and other POI that exist in today's map have been recorded, and the information is accurate. Should we then simply wipe that history because an area has been flattened and remodelled? Surely it is not beyond the whit of man to simply hide that material from those users who do not want to see it - deleting it just seems like an act of vandalism :( -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
