I like the "we" there - much better than the usual "Richard". Really looking
forward to the patch to the API so that users can retrieve their own CT
status, and the patch to Potlatch's background layer selector to take
account of this. Plus a manual override for users who are aware of what's
substantial and what isn't, so therefore know what they can legitimately
use. And the resulting Potlatch testing and recompile, plus submitting it
through this bizarre git thing which the Rails port now appears to use (and
which I still haven't figured out). All "rather quickly".






No?

Ah well, it was a nice thought.

Assuming no-one steps up to the plate and codes, tests and submits a patch,
I'll look at it (and NearMap too) next week or so when I'm not on deadline
with the day job. But I have every confidence that the issue, which is
trivial and easily fixable by a slight clarification to the CTs will be
fixed soon at any rate. I realise the scaremongers (not you, Phillip) will
then have to find something else to wibble about, but hey.

Sometimes I think we need Michael Winner on these licence threads to come
and say "calm down, dear" at regular intervals.

cheers
Richard
