<br>
We can not win if we do or if we do not :)<br>
<br>
It clearly says the HOT Tasking Manager, which it is. We were asked to<br>
change it from OSM Tasking Manager because people felt that was<br>
misrepresenting, it was not the OSM Tasking manager, it was HOT's<br>
Tasking Manager, so I changed that in TM v2.<br>
<br>
And the major emphasis on "OpenStreetMap Collaborative Mapping" is<br>
exactly because people also said we did not put OpenStreetMap<br>
prominently enough. Now it is the biggest thing on the page and that<br>
is not right either :)<br>
<br>
It doesn't say "HOT Collaborative Mapping" because people are not HOT<br>
mapping, they are OSM mapping.<br>
<br>
But, I think we are happy to change that title on that page to<br>
something else if the community feels it is somehow misrepresenting<br>
something.<br>
<br>
Respectfully,<br>
