Toby you have a nice list to start talking about governance, about respective role of local community.  


I would like the Quebec province in Canada to be better organized, to know the mappers in the province and have the possibility to contact them other then from the Talk-ca list, to know those that have problematic changesetes, to know those that are being blocked.

Would this User Blocks list help me? Surely not. Any suggestion on how to better organize, to have mappers progress and have the feeling they are in an organization where their work counts? 


Do you suggest me that we should only let the DWG group ban some mappers and let the others do anything without an organization trying to imporve the map?

Pierre
