There's also the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_an_anarchy Now seriously, Wikipedia and OSM have much in common but are also very different on many levels. Wikipedia have an Arbitration Committee that exercises definite power over wikipedians, I hope OSM won't ever need that. But I do think that OSM would need some sort of recognized entity that would maintain an official set of keys and values. After all the namespace we have for keys are finite. /Markus _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
