[OSM-talk-fr] Continued aggression against French contributors (cadastre integration)

Back to governance. So, the separate import account rule is imposed by  
who? Indeed, the Foundation. The Foundation is supposed to help free  
mapping and related databases. Practically, the Foundation is hosting  
the servers. And the Foundation gives the keys of the servers to a  
group, the DWG, to protect the database against vandalism, serious  
copyright infringement and strong edit wars (like using bot for the  
edit war). The DWG may also work on the improvement of quality of the  
data. We still don't see in what using a second account for cadastre  
integration and blocking people that don't do that is related to the  
above goals.

Of course people blocked are forced to use a second account. This is  
not a proof that this is a good decisoon ;-) And some of them decided  
to use a second account to reduce the conflict with DWG during the  
discussion, as a transient state.

* Marc indeed. I don't do any cadastre integration but I asked other  
people to do it for me in area that I'm mapping.
