[Talk-us] Streaming JOSM -- suggestions?

[stevea]

I think we're saying the same thing:  I use OT to curate datasets and sometimes I'll specifically clean up their TIGER data, like when that is exactly what I curate in my query.  Other times, I'll fix TIGER data otherwise.  I'm deliberate in all cases and I believe all good OSM editors are deliberate, too.  (Those who find themselves faced with TIGER data, as some of us are).  As long as "OT query results" don't ridiculously get out-of-control turning into automated edits, we're good.  I don't think that happens (often), but if you wanted to make it a short distance between those two, you could.  Even if your intentions are nefarious, which they are not and is what I mean by "all good OSM editors."

So, yeah, lots of sharp edges that might cut, there.  I don't mean to hurt anybody by suggesting that they tend towards that, not my intentions at all.  Let's all be careful growing these wonderful map data.  They are wonderful, often beautiful.
