Dear Sam,

I object to this.  What ever it is. ;-)

It sounds like you are suggesting to move OSM information from the
wiki to gdocs, then remove it in the wiki.  I'm not sure because you
didn't provide links to "the chart" or the "Google Docs chart" and you
didn't provide any context quoting from any previous conversation that
may have held that information.

I'm concerned that you are suggesting that information about the OSM
community work on the GeoBase import to OpenStreetMap should be moved
away from the OpenStreetMap wiki to some other place.  The
OpenStreetMap wiki really is the ideal place for collaborative,
community projects and information about OpenStreetMap.

If that is what you are suggesting, please tell me why your suggestion
is so much better than the wiki that it is worth hiding the
information from the rest of the community?  I'm not suggesting that
you are really hiding the information, but that it will be at least
another Link and Account Registration away from the wiki, and that it
may not get search indexed, and that it may not be as accessible.

Best regards,
Richard
