Truthfully, it is naive to think that any mapping or data that is not contributed just the way the few vocal folks who monopolize these OSM lists like, will be accepted. There really is no way to win with these folks, offer a lot and they accuse the contributor of trying to take over and/or destroying OSM, offer too little and they accuse the users of taking advantage of OSM. Best to just do like most folks who are interested in using and contributing to OSM do - unsubscribe from these lists and carry on. cheers, Blake > _______________________________________________ > talk mailing list > talk@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk > -- ---------------------------------------------------- Blake Girardot OSM Wiki - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Bgirardot HOTOSM Member - https://hotosm.org/users/blake_girardot skype: jblakegirardot
