[OSM-talk] Friends

"Maybe we should allow teenage users to shoot nude pictures of themselves, upload, and share with friends."

Or maybe, just maybe, some of the blessed developers who know Rails well enough could help make connecting with other mappers easier/smoother/even_delightful

So, +1 for Martijn's idea(s).

Cheers from Haiti (where challenges in connecting with other mappers in a way that works is one major obstacle in creating a vibrant mapping community),

Yes, because I have had complaints from people being "friended" by a 
known obnoxious community member whom nobody wanted to be friends with ;)

Not every non-meaningful feature must be made more meaningful. Burying 
such a feature is also an option ;)

Personally I would consider none of them useful but maybe that's because 
I just don't "get" social. Maybe we should allow teenage users to shoot 
nude pictures of themselves, upload, and share with friends.
