IMHO, we should allow people to use OSM tools to create polygons of interest. Then, people can choose to get various notifications based on events relative to those polygons. For example, you could send a message to a node or a way, and everyone whose polygons intersected it would get a notification. Or people could get a notification of edits within those polygons. Or of people who created a polygon intersecting their polygon. Basically, give people more tools to communicate with people who are local to them, or local to their interests. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
