Hello everyone,
(cc to Steve)
I'd like to extend the POI editor (announced yesterday) so that users can
contribute polygons (e.g. outlines of woods and lakes) to OSM through an
OpenLayers interface on Freemap, using the new OpenLayers vector layer.
However to make it as easy and hassle free for users to use, I'd prefer users
sign in with their *OSM* usernames and passwords rather than have to signup
for a Freemap account. Freemap would obviously not "steal" the usernames and
passwords but just send them straight to OSM for authentication.
Would this be acceptable? Presumably users could decide themselves whether
they want their OSM username/password used in this way.
Thanks,
Nick
