Heads up. The Data Working Group is aiming to develop a policy to govern
directed editing in OSM.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Hi,

   the DWG has prepared a policy on "Directed Editing" (former working
title "Organised Editing Policy"). Read it here:

https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Directed_Editing_Policy

The policy picks up (but doesn't slavishly follow) the results of our
survey, where it became obvious that transparency and communications are
what mappers find most important about organised mapping efforts. The
policy replaces the somewhat fuzzy terms of "paid" and "organised"
editing with the concept of "directed editing", which is essentially
when you're required to edit OSM (because of work, a school assignment
etc) and/or when you're told by others exactly what and how to map.

The DWG is interested in feedback on this proposal. Are you currently
involved in some form of editing that would be covered by the policy?
Does the policy present an unnecessary obstacle for some activities? If
you have witnessed organised mapping efforts that caused problems -
would these problems have been avoided if people had adhered to the
proposed policy?

Bye
Frederik
