Seems, that I was mistaken: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct states:
Either talk (a general purpose mailing list) or if your edit affects only one country or territory then the national-language mailing lists, forums, or other standard communication methods for the territory affected by the change or ... This seems odd to me, as not all communities affected by a mechanical edit are represented in talk. So this means that the country in which most edits will take place do not have to be consulted ? regards m. p.s. OSM is a community project, not a programmers project, it's about people, not software :-) On Tue, Sep 26, 2017 at 10:02 AM, Andy Mabbett <a...@pigsonthewing.org.uk> wrote: > On 26 September 2017 at 04:14, Marc Gemis <marc.ge...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I believe the mechanical edit polity demands that you discuss with the >> *local* community.
