Thanks OSM community

Here is a draft of a letter to Aaron. He may be listening to this list  
and will read it. I also will post it as a changeset comment. The  
letter is a bit rough, edits are welcome.

Tony

Hi Aaron

My sincere thanks on behalf of the Australian Open Street Map  
community for your many contributions to the map.

Unfortunately, there is some dissatisfaction in the Australian Open  
Street Map community with some of your larger edits including wiki  
changes on bikes and paths and the deletion of the Perth bike route  
network.

We ask you to seek consensus from the community before making large  
changes, particularly changes which reverse prior understandings and  
are large in scope.

Your changes to the wiki on bikes and paths are a particular issue in  
this letter. We propose a six step process in reverting the Australian  
Tagging Guidelines to community understandings of tagging practice.

  1 get community support from talk-au for this process
  2 Contact Aaron and get his agreement
  3 Thorsten rolls back the wiki to an agreed state
  4 Dian tidies up the wiki
  5 Aaron does not edit the wiki until Dian has finished
  6 we do not call for DWG intervention unless a party will not follow  
the agreed process

We are at step 2. It is important that we know you have read this  
letter. Please reply by changeset comment or better by a post to  
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/

This is your opportunity to put your case. There is a lot of  
discussion on talk-au regarding your edits. I suggest you read it and  
respond. Please let us know whether you agree with the 6 step process  
and if you do not agree, your reasons.

Thanks
Tony Forster
