Well, how about we solve this problem? For starters, go and vote! :P Seriously though - you said we need either "consensus or a dictator". Assuming you're not serious about the dictator, voting is a very established way of making decisions democratically. The method of decision making will not itself change /whether or not/ there is unanimous consensus. In the absence of consensus, voting is /the best/ democratic decision-making tool. You say it isn't accepted by a whole bunch of people - how about we fix that? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
