[OSM-talk] proposed counter-vandalism / moderation list?

[Peter Miller]

In the UK we have had a significant number of counter-productive edits  
recently, including both mistakes and vandalism. There have also been  
recent issues in Ireland and Iceland and probably in other places that  
we are not yet aware of. On talk-gb we have been discussing the merits  
of a creating an international list to focus on the development and  
use of tools and social structures to protect the database from  
counter-productive edits and have agreed that it would be worth  
setting one up.

As a result I have now set up a wiki page with the basic information  
about the proposed list based on these discussions.

So... I am now posting it on talk to get wider input... We need to  
agree a name and an initial brief that works well for the list. Feel  
free to edit the page or respond to this post as you see fit.
