<div dir="ltr"><div><div>1) The map controls change was publicised on the blog on the 19th (at the time of the change): <br><a href="http://blog.openstreetmap.org/2013/07/19/new-map-control/">http://blog.openstreetmap.org/2013/07/19/new-map-control/</a><br>
<br></div><div>2) The Communications Working Group is currently looking for help - why not join them: <br><a href="http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2013-July/002185.html">http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2013-July/002185.html</a><br>
</div><div><br></div>3) There is a list of Admins. Although don't forget though that OSM has no "Executive Team" or paid employees.
If you want something changing then code it yourself and put a pull
request in to the Admins.<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Admins">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Admins</a><br><br></div><div>4) And I disagree with you. It is possible to follow the dev channels and not flood the developers with comments. You simply have to pick your fights. If something is only a small issue for you, or you can understand the greater benefit to others, then let it be. If however you spot a significant and major issues then by all means please alert the developers to this in a constructive manner (suggesting fixes, or better still providing code).<br>
<br></div><div>Rob<br></div><div><br></div>p.s. I do generally agree that Comms is a weakness with OSM. I can spend way too long reading the mailing lists + blogs + etc.. :-(<br><div><div><div><div><div><div><br><br></div>
