I agree that it may seem outrageous to some, but disagree that it is
untrue.<br>
<br>
It is so by design:<br>

of HOT." ( [1] )<br>

Point taken on the wiki page lacking info. We need to fix
that. There was a thorough report on the list.<br>

Thank you. One of Frederik's comment was that the post sounded like
PR discourse (which may be fine, depending on its intent). A way to
substantiate this was to take a falsifiable statement and show its
distance from reality.<br>

This list is to discuss the OSM Foundation. HOT is not a
Foundation project. Let's move any further discussion
somewhere else.<br>

Sorry.<br>
<br>
You mean that HOT can only be used as an example for "management
lessons" to the OSM-F board, but that possible problems stemming
from this management style are off topic? Fine.<br>

much about OSM that he had to get involved in this).<br>
