To > ignore them is silly. I agree, I think it's being out of touch with reality to ignore Twitter and Facebook, whether or not it's the best medium or what you personally think of it. And the comment comparing this to sending people out to pubs is absurd; one is (fairly easily) technically feasible, while the other is highly impractical. We can always point people to relevant ML threads, wiki pages, help questions, etc. -Josh _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
