Dear Elena, <div>Dear all, Cari amici, Chers amis,<div><div><div>Liebe Freundinnen und Freunde, Sevgili Arkadaşlar, Dragi prieteni</div><div>oí galera, ...</div><div><br></div><div>First of all thank you Elena for your comments. </div>
<div><br></div><div><div> May I aks you *all* to cool down a little bit.</div></div><div><br></div><div><div>What I read here in the last days, expresssions like "agression", "cultural imperialism", I think that is not the way we should treat each other, nor in real life, nor here on the mailinglist.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>I live near the French and Luxembourg boarder, and we "sarreois" are seen from some germans as french and from some french as germans. ;-) ... As I lived for some years in a very different cultural envirement (South America) , I think I know the difference between different language and different culture ... </div>
<div>I try to bring only the FACTS ;-)</div>
<div><br></div><div>I try to resume the facts, as far as I understood the discussion</div></div><div><br></div><div><div>Preamble:</div><div>all (Netherlands, English, Italien, French, German, DWG ...) here on the list would ensure the quality of data in OSM.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>Facts:</div><div>1. Our french friends have done and will do imports into the database from cadastre.</div><div><br></div><div>2. Some in DWG are preocoupied about the possiblity to revert data, if they are false or should damage just existing data.</div>
<div><br></div><div>3. Our german friend Frederik made a proposal to make an anhancement for JOSM so that it would be easy to upload data with a different account ... "so that JOSM can store multiple identities and when you
hit "upload" you can select which identity to use from a drop-down"</div><div><br></div><div>Could that solve the problem?</div><div><br></div><div>Are there other proposals to solve the possible quality problem?</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>and last but not least ... please cool down ... dont talk to me about cultural differences - try to solve the issue.</div><div><br></div><div>I think we have the same aims, and the "HOW TO" should be resolved. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Cordialement</div><div><br></div><div>Manfred</div><div><br>
