reposting an earlier reply, which i mistakenly sent directly just to Michael ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Erwin Olario <gov...@gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jan 12, 2018 at 10:15 PM Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] Automatically generated changeset discussion comments by OSMCha To: Michael Reichert <osm...@michreichert.de>
I believe it's a good idea. At present, any OSM user (and all OsmCha users, are OSM users) can leave any comment to a changeset, whether or not the mapper asked for any. Earlier, I filed a ticket to enhance OsmCha behavior. Instead of posting a default message, the reviewer should leave details outlining how the changeset could be improved (or why they think it's bad.)
