[talk-ch] Fwd: [OSM-talk] Data reconciliation. Removing CT/ODbL declined users.

-- Sent from my GII mobile phone. Richard Weait richard@weait.com schrieb: Dear All, The License Working Group takes the position that it is now appropriate to begin reconciling the data touched by users who have explicitly declined CT/ODbL. LWG feels that those users who have not responded should have a grace period of another week or two. You can find the list of usernames that have declined here. http://fred.dev.openstreetmap.org/license/ This page is updated every hour. As always, map areas that you know well and in small pieces. At this point don't remove non-compliant data unless you are replacing it; another mapper may be able to replace it from local knowledge or survey. Bulk edits and or automated edits and or bots to reconcile non-compliant data are not welcome without previous, detailed discussion on the dev@ and or imports@ lists. Share your experiences to find the most effective workflows for improving OpenStreetMap data quality. - Check your local mapping area for data that is not completely CT/ODbL compliant. In Potlatch2, choose Options, and check "Show license status". There is also a licensechange plugin for JOSM. - Consider sending personal messages before you edit to those who have not accepted or those who have declined based on your judgement. Some users have declined and indicated on their user pages that they will not reconsider. We do not wish to send unwelcome or duplicate messages. See also http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Asking_users_to_accept_the_ODbL - Replace the data of users who have explicitly declined CT/ODbL with your own contributions from survey and other acceptable sources. - While this initial stage is focused on replacing data touched by users who have explicitly declined, you might find data touched by users who have not yet responded. We leave it to your judgement to replace that data now or wait another week or two. Once you begin replacing data, check on a regular basis whether the user in question hasn't changed his/her mind and has accepted CT/ODbL. You can look at http://fred.dev.openstreetmap.org/license/, this is updated every hour. Best regards, Richard Weait, on behalf of the License Working Group. _____________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
