[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add OpenLocationCode to OSM website (#1807)

[Frederik Ramm]

@Adamant36, most people who are skeptical of any sort of code of conduct fear that besides being used to call out racism, sexism and other obviously bigoted behaviour, it would also be used to stifle discussion by attempting to clad everything in cotton balls of politeness, which is exactly what you're trying to do with me here. Of course my statements express (my personal) judgement about this discussion, how would they not - namely that this discussion has attracted a large number of people who haven't ever appeared in any discussion about any feature in OSM, and suddenly they clamour for a right to "participate" in what feature are added to the OSM web site. OSM is participatory in that everyone can add data to the map, but not in that everyone can add their favourite code snippets to the web site. 

The part of my message that you chose to ignore is that it is trivial to create a web site that supports OLC and uses an OSM map, and that therefore anyone who claims that adding OLC to the OSM web site was necessary in order to be able to (more easily) use OLC in their aid project of choice obviously has misunderstood what this is about. But hey, that's the nice thing about codes of conduct, right, once you find an opportunity to brand someone as "judgemental and unproductive" and making "useless attacks" you don't have to deal with their argument any more. 

The audiences of OsmAnd and the Google web site are different from that of the OpenStreetMap web site. OpenStreetMap is not primarily an end-user facing web site.
