<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">i'm interested in the following from a technical and social<br>
perspective: as part of the LINZ import, some members of osm in NZ are<br>
about to add a lot of data to NZ. we've already had a number of<br>
mappers contact us concerned we are about to write over their data<br>
(which incidentally, won't happen)<br>
<br>
we would like to make as many NZ mappers aware of the import as<br>
possible, firstly to reduce these concerns, and to stop the potential<br>
outfux of NZ mappers who see themselves being replaced by bots and<br>
scripts. also, it would of course be beneficial to include more people<br>
in what we are doing<br>
<br>
are there any issues with mass contacting either (a) everyone who has<br>
set their location as in NZ, or (b) everyone who has made an edit<br>
within NZ? is there an AUP for osm which forbids this?<br>
<br>
and if not, is it possible to do this programmatically either through<br>
the wiki mail or the osm mailer?<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
