[OSM-talk] The long tail

[Erik Johansson]

Think about it you can help people answer the ultimate question, who
created this world. So I say for the well being of our children, let
them know who did what and when.

But I can easily produce such a dump with; svn -r 1 , svn -r 2; ....;
svn -r 1012

Wikipedia does full dumps, my children and hopefully their children
will be able to see how much time their grandfather spent on
Wikipedia. I don't see a big privacy policy on wikipedia that says
"Hey everyone can see what you edit", it's pretty clear that you are
responsible for your actions.

Privacy is one thing secrecy is something completely different.

PS. there is a privacy policy on wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Privacy_policy
