[talk-ph] New OSM website feature: changeset discussion

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

Hi everybody,

The hardworking developers have just released a new feature on the
OpenStreetMap website which is called Changeset Discussions.

This allows OSM users to discuss individual changesets. You might say that
this is a bit similar to talk pages on Wikipedia. Here is an example
comment I left on maning's latest changeset:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/26453147

Previously, if there were questionable changesets, other OSM users would
send the user who made the changeset private messages. This may lead to
multiple messages being sent and no public discussion on what the proper
way of mapping should be. In addition, the changeset discussion may occur
on other channels such as mailing lists and on social media like Facebook,
but the mapper who did the changeset is not aware of the discussion.

Have fun, and remember to be nice when leaving comments! Talk about the
edits and not the mapper. :-)
