Speaking as a DWG member, I always hoped that people would judge us by the work we do, not how we got the job ;) And about the matter at hand, the DWG has been asked whether they would like to take on this extra responsibility and we have not yet responded with anything definitive. On the one hand, this extra job would use more of our resources and divert them from other important work; on the other hand, any dispute within the community over editor presets and the like would sooner or later bubble up to DWG anyway. If a panel is created that is separate from DWG, we'd definitely have to build ourselves some safeguards that avoid finding the two bodies on different sides of a dispute ;) Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail frede...@remote.org ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
