[Osmf-talk] Subscription of OSMF members to the osmf-talk mailinglist

[manfred]

Mikel,

one essential attitude is the responsibility for the quality of the 
data. I can give you an example from #448. ;-) Maybe you noticed that we 
opened our Content Management System OSMBC for everyone some time ago. 
The following article was submitted and ready for issue #448:

"MSF (Doctors Without Borders) invites everyone to a Missing Maps 
Mapathon in Berlin on 26 February 2019 from 19:00 to 21:45."

The article contains all necessary information and could have been 
published. But we took the liberty to add the following sentence:

"Since high-quality maps are essential to help people in crisis areas, 
experienced mappers are invited to participate, and to train and monitor 
newbies."

That's an attitude - isn't it?
