Sigh. I suppose that it was inevitable that someone would equate the OSM database with the OSM wiki in this discussion. A lot could be said about the differences here but i hope we can simplify this to 'apples and peaches' and therefore not a meaningful comparison. Needless to say that a bot edit on the OSM database comparable to the one on the wiki that motivated me to start this thread would very likely never have found approval from the community. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
