Maybe that is because they don't apply to the vast majority of contributors. You don't need to accept the automated edit rules to contribute to OSM as long as you don't do automated edits. > - Doesn't seem to have been voted on before their "establishment" > - Seems to have been written by an eminent, but small set of > contributors (history Doesn't this also apply for the Contributor Terms? Remember OSM is largely a do-ocracy - those who put work into developing the rules have a significant influence on their content. This does not make them illegitimate. Both participating in creating and improving the rules as well as working on the DWG making sure mappers comply with the rules are open to everyone. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
