[OSM-talk] Anonymous edits

[Richard Fairhurst]

Anonymous editing is now disabled in Potlatch.* If you want to edit  
the map, you have to have clicked "Make my data public".

More at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Disabling_anonymous_edits .

Obviously this adds an extra, non-intuitive step to the learning  
process, so I look forward to "make my data public" becoming the  
default, and the rest of the API also imposing a restriction. Then I  
can contact those JOSM users who insist on drawing rural roads at 1  
node per 500m. :)

cheers
