[josm-dev] JOSM donations?

[Dirk Stöcker]

Hello,

after careful considerations I drop that idea completely. Although I still 
think it is a good idea I'm not willing to care for the resulting trouble 
to be expected.

Beside the reaction from Karl and missing answers from Frederik also 
another discussion with the author of NewTags preset is the reason. He 
does not like the new possibilities the wiki style editing of presets 
offers - which I can accept even if I don't understand it (NOTE: all 
attachements to the Presets page have been converted to wiki style, 
external links stay as they are).

So instead of following my advice to either use that new collaborative 
system or simply add a link to the file hosted on his page and me deleting 
the wiki we had a lengthy discussion with the result that he states "due 
to security reasons it is no longer possible to offer that through JOSM 
presets list". Well, this is total nonsense.

Sometimes I'm very discouraged to care for JOSM and I'm not sure if it is 
really worth the effort anymore. Each and every time something new is 
introduced or something is changed you get unacceptable comments and 
flames. Sometimes this can get too much even for me.

Ciao
