[OSM-talk] "local chapter" DWG

[Serge Wroclawski]

Maning,

Are you concerned about a specific issue in particular? Is there
something that you've complained about that the DWG hasn't acted upon,
because I haven't seen any mail from you to the DWG.

If there's a specific issue you're concerned about, I think the best
step would be to contact the DWG.

And if there are specific trusted members of the community there who
have this much spare time to work on DWG issues, they should volunteer
for the DWG.

AFAIK neither have you asked for anything, nor have any new volunteers
stepped forth for consideration.

- Serge
