[OSM-talk] The Future of Areas

Hi!

This is not a proposal! I am not proposing one concrete thing. I am raising
issues and showing options.

And I see that all those explanations, proposals etc. need much more work to
be easily understood. I expect all those pages to grow a lot so that they can
contain all the information you, me and others will need to understand the
problems and solutions in their complexity. While this might at the moment fit
on one page, it will not in the future.

This is not a final thing in any way or form. It is a basis to work on. If you
don't understand something ask questions so that I see where people have
problems and try to better explain things. Or if you have your own issues or
better explanations, please add them.

Jochen
