[talk-au] New OSM Discourse site: community.osm.org

[Sam Wilson]

It's growing in use, I think (not with Australia-specific discussion).

It feels like a pretty good site, I check the headlines most days, and I 
think one advantage is being able to get a feel for what's being 
discussed elsewhere. Also to have location-specific discussions that 
benefit either from the input of people elsewhere or to let other people 
know how one place is doing things.

I don't like the notification system that much, but part of that is I 
think that the ratio of meta posts to real topical ones is quite large 
at the moment. It is decreasing though, as more people take part.
